Sparta (Doric Greek: Σπάρτα, Spártā; Attic Greek: Σπάρτη, Spártē) or Lacedaemon (/ˌlæsəˈdiːmən/; Λακεδαίμων, Lakedaímōn) was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece, situated on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese. Around 650 BC, it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece.
Given its military pre-eminence, Sparta was recognized as the overall leader of the combined Greek forces during the Greco-Persian Wars. Between 431 and 404 BC, Sparta was the principal enemy of Athens during the Peloponnesian War, from which it emerged victorious, though at great cost of lives lost. Sparta's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC ended Sparta's prominent role in Greece. However, it maintained its political independence until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC. It then underwent a long period of decline, especially in the Middle Ages, when many Spartans moved to live in Mystras. Modern Sparta is the capital of the Greek regional unit of Laconia and a center for the processing of goods such as citrus and olives.
Ancient Greek includes the forms of Greek used in ancient Greece and the ancient world from around the 9th century BCE to the 6th century CE. It is often roughly divided into the Archaic period (9th to 6th centuries BCE), Classical period (5th and 4th centuries BCE), and Hellenistic period (3rd century BCE to 6th century CE). It is antedated in the second millennium BCE by Mycenaean Greek.
The language of the Hellenistic phase is known as Koine (common), while the language from the late period onward features no considerable differences from Medieval Greek. Koine is regarded as a separate historical stage of its own, although in its earlier form, it closely resembled the Classical. Prior to the Koine period, Greek of the classic and earlier periods included several regional dialects.
Ancient Greek was the language of Homer and of classical Athenian historians, playwrights, and philosophers. It has contributed many words to English vocabulary and has been a standard subject of study in educational institutions of the West since the Renaissance. This article primarily contains information about the Epic and Classical phases of the language.

Η Σπάρτη είναι πόλη της Πελοποννήσου και πρωτεύουσα του νομού Λακωνίας της Ελλάδας. Η σημερινή Σπάρτη είναι χτισμένη νότια από το κέντρο της αρχαίας ομώνυμης πόλης, κοντά στη δεξιά όχθη του ποταμού Ευρώτα. Η πεδιάδα που απλώνεται γύρω της είναι καταπράσινη από ελιές, πορτοκαλιές, λεμονιές, μουριές και άλλα δέντρα. Στα νοτιοδυτικά υψώνεται το όρος Ταΰγετος με τις πανύψηλες κορυφές και την άγρια ομορφιά του. Στα ανατολικά της πόλης βρίσκεται η οροσειρά του Πάρνωνα, που είναι κατάφυτη από έλατα και άλλα δέντρα. Η πόλη επανιδρύθηκε μετά την απελευθέρωση της χώρας το 1834, ύστερα από απόφαση του βασιλιά Όθωνα και σε επίσημη τελετή την 1 Ιανουαρίου 1857 έγινε η εγκαθίδρυση των αρχών από το Μυστρά στη νέα πόλη, που ήταν και η πρώτη στην Ελλάδα που χαράχθηκε με πολεοδομικό σχέδιο.

Mystras, Sparta Greece http://www.myvideomedia.de English see below [dt.] Mystras - Μυστράς , die ehemalige byzantinische Stadt, liegt auf dem Peloponnes, Griechenland, direkt neben Sparta. Die Festung wurde 1249 von fränkischen Kreuzfahrern gegründet aber bereits 1259 von byzantinischen Truppen übernommen. In der Folgezeit entwickelte sich rasch unterhalb der Burg ein kulturelles byzantinisches Zentrum, das von ca. 30.000 Menschen bevölkert wurde. Die Meisten stammten aus dem nahegelegenen Sparta, das sich nicht so leicht verteidigen ließ. Hervorgehoben in der sich spiralförmig nach unten ins Tal windenden Stadt ist der Despotenpalast, der in jüngster Zeit wieder restauriert wird. Er war das größte Repräsentationsgebäude des byzantinischen Reichs außerhalb von Konstantinopel. Eines...
