Excellent- More about Greek Superpower: Sparta in the Self-Definitions of Athenians
During the classical period, Greeks viewed Athens as the Hellas of Hellas, but many Athenians believed that Sparta was the true school of Hellas. This book explores how Athenians regarded Sparta's superiority, leading to Plato's literary creation of fantasy cities and the ruling Athenian politicians' claim to be remodelling their city as a New Sparta.

Greeks viewed Athens as the Hellas of Hellas in later times, but during the classical period, many Athenians had different perspectives. Athens could be considered a school of Hellas, but Sparta was widely regarded as the ultimate exemplar. In terms of military strength and moral integrity, Sparta excelled. This book delves into the thoughts of Athenians, including ordinary citizens, writers, and politicians, regarding Sparta's superiority. Nine fresh studies from a diverse international cast explore how Athenians could simultaneously revere Sparta while engaging in conflict with her. This respect gave rise to Plato's literary creation of fantasy cities (in the Republic and Laws) aimed at emulating Spartan practices. Even after Athenian military surrender in 404 BC, ruling Athenian politicians asserted that their city should be transformed into a new Sparta.
