Bøker av Nigel M. Kennell

Examines education in ancient Sparta, covering the period from the sixth century BC to the fourth century AD. Nigel Kennell refutes the popular notion that classical Spartan education was a conservative amalgam of "primitive" customs, and argues instead that later political and cultural movements made the system appear to be more distinctive than it actually had been.

Spartans: A New History chronicles the rise and fall of ancient Sparta, from its Bronze Age origins to the powerful Greek city-state's demise in Late Antiquity.
