Hardback. Condizione: Good. Ah, Ancient Sparta (1971) by K. M. T. Chrimes ?a book about that famously relaxed and easygoing society where boys were encouraged to toughen up, conversation was kept to a minimum, and interior decoration rarely extended beyond ?functional.? Sparta has long enjoyed a reputation as the place where life was simple, direct, and, above all, uncompromising. Chrimes approaches this stern little civilisation with scholarly calm, unpacking the institutions, customs, and peculiar social arrangements that turned a small Greek city-state into a byword for discipline, endurance, and the sort of lifestyle that makes modern wellness regimes look positively indulgent. Here are the Spartans: efficient, laconic, and deeply suspicious of anything that might be described as ?comfortable.? What makes this study particularly engaging is its refusal to romanticise too much. Yes, the Spartans were impressive in their way?highly organised, fiercely loyal, and inconveniently good at warfare?but they also built a society that was rigid, controlled, and perhaps not quite the utopia of iron-willed virtue that later admirers have imagined. Chrimes quietly reminds us that a life devoted entirely to discipline may come at the cost of, well, almost everything else. This Greenwood Press edition from 1971 carries all the reassuring weight of serious academic publishing: solid, no-nonsense, and clearly more interested in facts than in making friends. As an ex-library copy from St Mary?s College, Strawberry Hill , it bears only the most subtle traces of its institutional past?faint markings that hint at a previous life of quiet consultation rather than reckless overuse. In other words, it has been handled with the kind of restraint the Spartans themselves would have approved of. Condition is Good , meaning it remains perfectly serviceable and dignified, much like Sparta itself after a long day of being historically significant. A fine choice for students of ancient history, lovers of classical civilisation, or anyone curious about how far a society can go in the pursuit of order before it starts to look less like a lifestyle choice and more like a lifelong training exercise.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Later Sandpiper printing. Cloth, dj. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. In the first major work to draw on the archaeological findings from excavation of the temple at Artemis Orthia, Kathleen Chrimes presents a study of Sparta in the Hellenistic and Roman periods based on epigraphical evidence, and uses this as a starting point for a re-examination of the evidence about early Sparta. The first part of the book concentrates on the later period, and in the second part Chrimes traces constitutional and social survivals back to their roots in the remote past. These survivals provide a basis for a new interpretation of the archaic social and political structure and its development, and lead to conclusions about the origins of the Spartan system of physical, intellectual and social training and of the five ephors that challenge previously accepted views.…
