"description": "LibriVox recording of The Polity of the Athenians and the Lacedaemonians (Spartans) by Xenophon. (Translated by H. G. Dakyns.)Read in English by Phil Chenevert
The Polity of the Lacedaemonians talks about the laws and institutions created by Lycurgus, which train and develop Spartan citizens from birth to old age. It only because of Xenophon that we have most of our knowledge about the Spartans. Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a pupil of Socrates. He marched with the Spartans, and was exiled from Athens which may explain why he is so negative and sarcastic when describing the Athenian democracy. Sparta gave him land and property in Scillus, where he lived for many years before having to move once more, to settle in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C.. - Summary by The introduction and Phil chenevert
