Title: The Spartans
Description: The image of Sparta as a repressive warrior society that shunned the arts has been the accepted view well into our own century. Drawing on contemporary written evidence and archaeological finds, L.F. Fitzhardinge portrays a Sparta quite different from the stereotype. The city is revealed as the creator of a fine and distinctive tradition in ceramics, bronzes, statuettes and many other arts.--[book cover].
