Book Synopsis Spartan Education by : Jean Ducat

Download or read book Spartan Education written by Jean Ducat and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Ducat is the leading French authority on classical Sparta. Here is what is likely to be seen as his magnum opus. Ducat systematically collects, translates and evaluates the sources - famous and obscure alike - for Spartan education. He deploys his familiar combination of good judgement and uncompromising recognition of the limits to our knowledge, while drawing at times on aspects of French structuralism. This book is likely to become the definitive reference on its subject, while also informing and provoking the future work of others. Sparta was admitted by Greeks generally, even by its Athenian enemies, to be the School of Hellas. Ducat's work is thus a major contribution to our understanding of Greek ideas, and indeed to the history of education.
