The crisis of Spartan power in the first half of the fourth
century has been connected to Spartan inability to manage the
hegemony built on the ruins of the Athenian Empire, or interpreted
as a result of the unexpected annihilation of the Spartan army by
the Boeotians at Leuktra. The present book offers a new
perspective, suggesting that the crisis that finally brought down
Sparta was in important ways a result of centrifugal impulses
within the Peloponnesian League, accompanied by a general awakening
of ethnicity in various areas of the Peloponnese.
A series of regional case studies is combined with thematic
contributions focusing on topics such as the relationship of
religious cults and ethnicity and of democracy and ethnicity, the
use of archaeological evidence for ethnic phenomena, and
comparative approaches based on social anthropology.
