Thucydides is widely seen as the most dispassionate and reliable
contemporary source for the history of classical Sparta. But,
compared with partisan authors such as Xenophon and Plutarch, his
information on the subject is more scattered and implicit. Scholars
in recent decades have made progress in teasing out the sense of
Thucydides' often lapidary remarks on Sparta. This book takes the
process further. Its eight new studies by international specialists
aim to reveal coherent structures both in Thucydidean thought and
in Spartan reality. This volume is the second of a series in which
the Classical Press of Wales applies to Spartan history the
approach it is already using for the history of Rome's
revolutionary era: focusing in turn on each of the main sources on
which historians depend, and analysing with a combination of
historical and literary methods.
