8 reviews for On Sparta

  1. Shantanu

    While informative, ‘On Sparta’ can be a bit dense. Some prior knowledge of ancient Greece is definitely helpful.

  2. Ch Mounica Reddy

    A well-researched book that provided great insights into the life of Spartans. The book was interesting, although a bit lengthy.

  3. Rashmi Singh

    I was captivated by the stories of Spartan courage and discipline. A great introduction to this ancient civilization.

  4. Rishu

    I enjoyed learning about Sparta’s unique culture, but the writing style felt a little dry at times. Good information, though!

  5. Aditya Raj

    Plutarch brings Sparta to life! The accounts of their military training are especially compelling. A must-read for history buffs.

  6. Neha Singh

    An interesting look at Spartan society. Some of the customs are shocking to modern sensibilities.

  7. Riya Chopra

    Plutarch offers a unique perspective, but it’s important to remember this is just one interpretation of Spartan history.

  8. Esha Kumari

    A fascinating glimpse into Spartan life, though Plutarch’s admiration sometimes feels a bit uncritical. Still, a worthwhile read.
