context: Sparta (Dorian Greek: Σπάρτα) or Sparte (Atice Greek: Σπάρτη) is a polis of Ancient Greece, located in the banks of the Eurotas River, south of the Peloponnesian Peninsula. [1] Sparta is located at the southern tip of the center of the Laconia plains and was a military hub for defending enemy invasion into Laconia. Unlike other regions of Greece where there are many mountainous regions, it was able to become self-sufficient because it had a fertile plain, and since then, there was little exchange with the outside, so a closed social system was formed. Until the end of the 4th century B.C.E., no walls were built. .[2] Since 650 B.C.E., Sparta has emerged as a military hegemony in the region, and was recognized as the overall leader of the Allied Greek army during the Greco-Persian War. Most of the Spartan population was halotai (more than 80% of the population, according to Herodotus). [4] They were viewed and insulted according to custom, and in the cryptian custom Spartan citizens could legally kill them. [ 5] [6] [7] From 431 B.C. to 404 B.C.E., Sparta was Athenai's main enemy in the Peloponnesian War. In 362 BC, Sparta's military supremacy over all of Greece ended. Later, Sparta was attracted by Western culture, and the attitude of longing for Sparta is called Laconopilia. [9] [10]
