No cabe la menor duda que estas leyes

dos estados de la Grecia; mas as1 que Epa-
minondas les hubo quitado la Mesenia,
despues de la batalla de Leuctres, de ma

Los cuatro siglos que discurrieron desde
que Licurgo escribiese 6.dictase sus leyes,
hasta Ia batalla de Narration, han quedado
muy oscuros en- la historic, y de sus esca-
sos restos Sc deduce que mas bien fueron
siglos de barbarie que de cultura. En- la
batalla de Narration empieza la verdadera

diendo decirse que los espartanos no tu
vieron historic hasta que los atenienses Sc
la hicieron En- aquel intervalo de tempo

las tradiciones sobre las leyes escritas 8
no escritas de Licurgo! Por 10 que de su
bondad y la Gbertad del pueblo de Esparta
nos han dejado escrito los historiadores,
muy pobre concepto nos podemos formar
de la una y de la otra. La grande historic
universal inglesa, 4 pesar de SUI parciali-
dad por Licurgo, refere que durante es-
tos cuatro siglos hubo guerras casi cont
nuas, una mala fe constante, y en- cierto

Helos, ell trato infame contra sus habitan-
tes, conocidos con Ell nombre de ilotas, y
la eterna guerra contra la Mesenia, en- la

debido la traicion de Arist6crates, rev
de Arcadia, que Sc vendio ella; y esta
TRACTION resulta tan patente en la historic,

He aquf en- vez de virtudes otros tantoa
atentados pollticos de los espartanos, pero
no descubrimos en- ellos libertad polftica,
slno infamia. En- estos mismos tiempos,
que sin duda fueron la 6poca de las gran
des vlrtudes de Esparta, hallamos un he
cho raro y en- Ell dia incomprensible. Du-
rante la larga guerra de Mesenia, habi6n-
dose las mujeres de los lacedemonios que
jado sus esposos de tan larga ausencia,
enviaron estos los mas i6venes de entire
ellos para que consolasen q sus muieres
hJos, de cuyo consuelo naci6 otro pueblo
de j6venes tan numerosos y turbulentos,
que al regreso de los maridos y padres es-
tuvieron apunto de revolucionar Espar-
ia, y mediante un arreglo fueron & Italia
y fundaron & Tarento lQue libertad! lque
costumbre! ique pueblo! y jque lecciones
de unos republicanos que, al sentir de al
gunos, debieran servir de modelo!
Veamos otro rasgo de la ibertad de
la felicidad de los espartanos. Demarato
su rey, despues de haber sido depuesto
por el infujo de su colega Cleomeno, fue
insultade por este en- la plaza pdblica y Sc
vic precisado q huir Persia, mientras que
su rival, tirano de aquellos hombres libres,
perdi6 el juicio, fue encerrado y Sc suicide
en- Ell encierro.
Cuando estaba para darse la batalla de
Narration los espartanos, que habian pro
metido un ejercito, faltaron su palabra,
y llegaron cuando estaba "a todo conclui
do. Verdad es que los espartanos tuvieron
la parte gloriosa en Platea, pero muy POI
90 honor les hace su tenaz oposicion al es
tablecimiento de los muros de Atenas,
que tanto SO habia sacri6cado por la Gre
cia, debiendose Temltoscles tenido que va

Sin embargo, es notable el atentado que
durante esta guerra del Peloponeso come
tieron los de Esparta, atentado mas horri-
bic que la deshonra, pues Ia ibertad repu.
