Greek Superpower: Sparta in the Self-Definitions of Athenians de Anton Powell

Greek Superpower: Sparta in the Self-Definitions of Athenians: Sparta and its Influence

Editat de Anton Powell, Paul Cartledge
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 sep 2018
Greeks - in later times - saw Athens as 'the Hellas of Hellas', but in the classical period many Athenians thought otherwise. Athens might be a school of Hellas, but the school of Hellas was Sparta. Militarily and morally, Sparta was supreme. This book explores how Athenians - ordinary citizens as well as writers and politicians - thought about Sparta's superiority. Nine new studies from an international cast examine how Athenians might revere Sparta even as they fought her. This respect led to Plato's literary creation of fantasy cities (in the Republic and Laws) to imitate Spartan methods. And, after its military surrender in 404 BC, ruling Athenian politicians claimed that their city was to be remodelled as itself a New Sparta.
