If you want to discover the enthralling history of Sparta and the Trojan War, then keep reading...


Two manuscripts in one book: Sparta: An Enthralling Overview of the Spartans and Their City-State in Ancient Greece along with the Greco-Persian Wars, Peloponnesian War, and Other Conflicts Involving the Spartan Army The Trojan War: An Enthralling Overview of a Legendary Conflict of Ancient Greece and Its Role in History and Greek Mythology


Almost everyone has heard of the famous three hundred Spartan ers who stood against the Persians at Thermopylae. But did you know that Sparta was home to two kings? Or that their women had more freedom than the women of Athens?
The beautiful history of classical Sparta has been in the spotlight for some time now. Sometimes, it feels as if the details about this city-state are as vast as the Aegean!


In part one of this book, you will discover:


The origin and foundations of ancient Sparta;
The role of mythical divinity in the emergence of Sparta;
Wars and conquests that helped shape Sparta's foreign relations;
The lives and times of the great kings and heroes of Sparta;
The unique socio-political structure of classical and post-classical Sparta;
The famous agoge and Sparta's prestigious military;
A typical day as a citizen or non-citizen living in ancient Sparta;
And much, much more!


Epic story or historical fact? Historians disagree whether the Trojan War was either - or both! Around 1,200 BCE, war raged between the Ancient Greeks and their rivals in Troy. It's the oldest story in the world, and its account was captured by the Greek poet, Homer.
