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.

Bettany Hughes chronicles the rise and fall of one of the most extreme civilisations the world has ever seen, one founded on discipline, sacrifice and frugality where the onus was on the collective and the goal was to create the perfect state and the perfect warrior. Hughes reveals the secrets and complexities of everyday Spartan life; homosexuality was compulsory, money was outlawed, equality was enforced, weak boys were put to death and women enjoyed a level of social and sexual freedom that was unheard of in the ancient world. It was a nation of fearsome fighters where a glorious death was treasured. This is aptly demonstrated by the kamikaze last stand at Thermopylae, where King Leonidas and his warriors fought with swords, hands and teeth to fend off the Persians. But there was bitter...

It is situated in the southeastern part of the Peloponnese peninsula. Its administrative capital is Sparta.

Mystras, Sparta Greece please read more: https://blog.myvideomedia.com 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 K...
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.

Arms open but I've just broken in
through a crack in a long division
can I make a decision, without confusion?
seemed something, but became nothing at all
what happened to the old and stable?
when the powers that be fail
and heads will roll
someday low notes fade away and go true and stale
somewhere words don't crater in at all
currents turn and green lights on my right
these miles hold and infinite time
long enough to remember
and regret precursors
ride turning, foundations shaking away
it's a matter of time and distance
and test opinions
that force a change
someday low notes fade away and go true and stale
somewhere words don't crater in at all
do you owe this? I am what you thought you were
can you pay it? what you've indebted
