Greece Editorial Review
"The Spartans" presents a beginner-level overview of the ancient Greek civilization, with a specific focus on the society of Sparta. However, some readers found it disappointing that the book mainly focuses on the historically famous Battle of Thermopylae, and does not provide much detail on other important aspects of Spartan culture and history, such as the wars with Messenia and Persia. Additionally, the book includes overused quotes attributed to the Spartans. Despite its limitations, the book could be a good gift for younger readers interested in history. On the other hand, according to some readers, "The Spartans" by Bayliss is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Ancient Greek history. The author covers many nuanced subjects of debate and presents evidence in an entertaining and informative way. It is an excellent fit for those who prefer a more scholarly and detailed approach.
