Engaging account of the life of children in ancient Sparta, where
patriotism, heroism, and strength in battle are the highest ideals.
We discover how at age seven boys leave home to live in company
with 15 others, training to be Spartan soldiers through rigorous
physical and mental exercises. In addition to wrestling, running,
and throwing the discus, we watch them foraging for their food,
gathering reeds for their bedding, singing patriotic songs, and
eating at mess with their elders. Emphasis is on the true nobility
and rugged simplicity of the Spartan character. Attractive black
and white illustrations complement the text. Suitable for ages 8
and up.
