| Opplysninger | Go tell the Spartans -- Sparta's civic structure -- the Spartan lifestyle -- Raising a Spartan -- Spartan women -- Helots -- the later reception of Sparta.. - The Spartans: A Very Short Introduction separates myth from reality to reveal the best-and the worst-of the Spartans. Famous throughout history for their doomed stand at Thermopylae, and immortalized as the epitome of martial prowess, today the Spartans both fascinate and appal us. Looking beyond the popular image of musclebound soldiers with long hair and red cloaks, this VSI reveals key aspects of Spartan society. This includes their civic structure, day-to-day lifestyle, and traditions. It also indicates how the legacy of this ancient society remains present in today's many Spartan-inspired sports teams, films, and exercise regimes
