L'héritage grec, c'est assurément Athènes, la philosophie et la démocratie. C'est aussi Sparte qui, avant de s'enfermer dans la discipline guerrière, aimait la poésie, la musique et la danse. C'est le rayonnement de la brillante civilisation crétoise, l'ouverture sur la mer et sur le monde. La Grèce a connu des âges sombres et des luttes fratricides, mais elle avait fait de la beauté un art de vivre pour éduquer le citoyen et le rendre responsable dans la cité.

More than 2,500 years ago, a confederation of small Greek city-states defeated the invading armies of Persia, the most powerful empire in the world.

Il volume ricostruisce storia, società e cultura dell'antica Sparta dal X secolo al 146 a.C. La prima parte segue lo sviluppo storico della città dalla fondazione attorno al 900, con la creazione del sistema politico e militare attribuito a Licurgo, all'ascesa di Sparta come potenza egemone in Grecia. La seconda parte affronta tematicamente l'organizzazione della vita sociale di Sparta. Gli ultimi capitoli trattano gli anni della lega del Peloponneso e della guerra contro Atene e la successiva decadenza di Sparta come potenza indipendente.

Non è semplice spiegare cos'ha rappresentato Sparta per il mondo antico. La polis ellenica infatti non solo è stata la storica rivale di Atene, ma un vero simbolo per tutta la Grecia classica e non solo. Il mito di Sparta oggi, dopo più di 2 mila anni, è ancora vivo più che mai grazie alle pluripremiate graphic novel di Frank Miller e alle loro trasposizioni cinematografiche. Può un popolo vivere soltanto in funzione della guerra e del valore militare? Per quanto possa sembrare assurdo la risposta è sì. L'incredibile storia di Sparta è qui a dimostrarcelo.

Many of the city-states of Ancient Greece gave the world a legacy rich in art, literature, poetry, philosophy, and science. But one such state distinguished itself by embracing something very different: a warrior lifestyle, a denial of luxury and wealth, and a focus on the collective rather than the individual. While most other Ancient Greek city-states have been forgotten, the name of that city remains in use in the English language today, meaning austere or rigorous: Spartan.

Gemeinsam versuchen sie, sich zu den Resten des terranischen Militärs durchzuschlagen, aber bald werden auch sie zu einer Spielfigur in den Intrigen der Oxu. Ein Entkommen ist unmöglich.

A born teacher and lecturer, Professor Timothy B. Shutt examines the history and culture of ancient Sparta, a society renowned for military excellence and adherence to the values of courage, discipline, duty, and the overcoming of fear. Vastly outnumbered at the Battle of Thermopylae, the Spartan "300" held off an overwhelming Persian force before finally succumbing - but not without inflicting massive casualties and inspiring the rest of the Greeks with the notion that they could persevere.

In a continuation of his multivolume series on ancient Sparta, Paul Rahe narrates the second stage in the six decades long, epic struggle between Sparta and Athens that first erupted some 17 years after their joint victory in the Persian Wars. Rahe explores how and why open warfare between these two erstwhile allies broke out a second time, after they had negotiated an extended truce.

A sweeping history of the Greeks, from the Bronze Age to today More than two thousand years ago, the Greek city-states, led by Athens and Sparta, laid the foundation for much of modern science, the arts, politics, and law. But the influence of the Greeks did not end with the rise and fall of...

In 431 BC, the long simmering rivalry between the city-states of Athens and Sparta erupted into open warfare, and for more than a generation the two were locked in a life-and-death struggle. The war embroiled the entire Greek world, provoking years of butchery previously unparalleled in ancient Greece. Whole cities were exterminated, their men killed, their women and children enslaved.

Helena und Klytämnestra sind durch ihre Schönheit und ihren Stand nichts als Überfluss gewohnt, ganz Griechenland liegt ihnen zu Füßen: Sie sind die Prinzessinnen von Sparta. Doch dieses Privileg hat seinen Preis. Noch als Mädchen werden die Schwestern getrennt und verheiratet—mit dem mächtigen Agamemnon und seinem Bruder Menelaos von Troja. Als Königinnen wird von ihnen nur zweierlei erwartet: die Geburt eines Erben und die Verkörperung der sanftmütigen, sittsamen Natur einer Frau.

Dopo anni passati a caccia di tesori e segreti sepolti dalla Storia, i coniugi Fargo sono abituati a scoperte e sorprese di ogni genere: quello però che trovano nelle paludi del fiume Pocomoke, nel Maryland, è qualcosa di davvero curioso: un sottomarino tedesco risalente alla Seconda guerra mondiale, al cui interno si trova una bottiglia di vino della famosa "riserva perduta" di Napoleone. L'oggetto si rivela essere una delle dodici tessere di un puzzle, tante sono le bottiglie della riserva che dovrebbe condurre a un tesoro dal valore inestimabile, perso nelle nebbie dei tempo.
