But who really were the Spartans? And what was the driving force behind the rise - and dramatic fall - of Sparta?
Sparta traces the story of Ancient Greece's most iconic city-state, from its humble beginnings as a hamlet in the Peloponnese to its meteoric rise as the foremost military superpower of the Classical world. Andrew Bayliss uncovers the eclectic quirks that set Sparta above its rivals: its famous double monarchy, the harsh methods for raising children as soldiers and the unique role of women in Spartan life.
Sparta was the world's first superpower and its legacy is still shaping popular culture and politics today. This is the story of its rise and fall.©2025 Andrew J. Bayliss
