A Critical Book Review: Spartan Women by: Sarah B. Pomeroy It goes without saying that during the time of Ancient Greeks‚ the lives of human beings and the things considered important vary greatly compared to those living today.

OWN VIEWS Go tell the Spartans Stranger passing by‚ That here obedient to their laws …….we lie. Thus reads an ancient stone at Thermopylae in northern Greece‚ the site of one of the world’s greatest battles for freedom.

Sport in Ireland only furthers inequalities in minority groups‚ memorializes its tragic history and questions identity in the North. Disparity in Participation Sociologist

The Spartan Phalanx is a powerful painting created by John Becker depicting the 2011 Michigan State football players as warriors and as Spartans. In its description‚ John Becker explains that he wanted to create a picture showing the Michigan State football players as a phalanx in Greek marching formation.
