Sparta through the eyes of an Athenian.

April 23, 2007 by aaron
_Note to Reader:_Specifically Xenophon write about the Lacedaemonians who lived in the principle region of Sparta, and credited Lycurgus (their legendary lawgiver) with their achievements. For simplicity, I will be referring to the people and state as Sparta or Spartans, and rather than referencing Lycurgus by name, I will just say the Spartans in general.

The creator includes an advanced color picker to make it easy for you to pick just the right color.
