Three studies that offer close readings concerning the interaction of the source material on Spartan history with the unfolding of actual historical events. These contributions take the position that not only political, but also social, policies at Sparta, as well as the historical actors giving them shape, were intensely?and to an unusual degree?influenced by myth, tradition, and popular memory about the Laconian past.
