    If enslaving entire populations, dedicating an entire culture to a war machine, and killing puppies is not enough for you to rethink Sparta, well there's just not much left to say. https://sententiaeantiquae.com/2019/08/01/spartas-counterfeit-myth/ … via @sentantiq

        When I studied with Oswyn Murray one of the books in his reading list was about Shaka and the Zulus. Similar regime. I agree it’s not when you reflect on it attractive.

        Why “killing puppies” instead of “infanticide”?

        If the idea of μέλας ζωμός didn’t put you off Spartan culture, nothing will.

        All Spartans had PTSD. Crypteia was terrible. Teaching your children to not respond to pain, to steal to survive, to beat and bully everyone you can when no one is looking, it a tough way to go through life. But Alexander wanted no part of them.

        I think a lot of the famous Spartan quotes were apocryphal, but this is my favourite. Almost worth having your city wiped out for the chance to say it. Philip II of Macedon to the Spartans: If I invade you will be destroyed, never to rise again. Spartans: If.

        I think, at least according to the mythology of Sparta, they would have been great on Twitter, so there is that.
