A history of Sparta is as much an account of the rise and fall of the Spartan society as it is an examination of the mythic representation of this city-state by other Greeks and later writers. Readings from Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, Plutarch, and others will provide the opportunity to learn about how and why this utopian image of Sparta was created and discern the realities that lay behind these representations.
