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.
