An authoritative and refreshingly original consideration of the government and culture of ancient Sparta and her place in Greek history For centuries, ancient Sparta has been glorified in song, fiction, and popular art. Yet the true nature of a civilization described as a combination of democracy and oligarchy by Aristotle, considered an ideal of liberty in the ages of Machiavelli and Rousseau, and viewed as a forerunner of the modern totalitarian state by many twentieth-century scholars has long remained a mystery. In a bold new approach to historical study, noted historian Paul Rahe attempts to unravel the Spartan riddle by deploying the regime-oriented political science of the ancient Greeks, pioneered by Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Xenophon, and Polybius, in order to provide a more coherent picture of government, art, culture, and daily life in Lacedaemon than has previously appeared in print, and to explore the grand strategy the Spartans devised before the arrival of the Persians in the Aegean.

In the past twenty years the study of Sparta has come of age. Images prevalent earlier in the 20th century, of Spartans as hearty good fellows or scarlet-cloaked automata, have been superseded by more complex scholarly reactions. As interest has grown in the self-images projected by this most secretive of Greek cities, increasing attention has focused on how individual Greek writers from other states reacted to information, or disinformation about Sparta.The studies in this volume provide new insights into the traditional historians' question, ""What actually happened at Sparta?"". But the

Dem Athener Isokrates (ca. 436-338 v.Chr.) schreibt man seit jeher eine maßgebliche Rolle bei der ideengeschichtlichen Trennung von Rhetorik und Philosophie zu. Besonders die historischen Exempla in seinen Reden galten dabei lange Zeit als Beleg dafür, dass der ,Erbe der Sophistik' als Hauptgegner Platons den Anspruch sachlicher Moralität und Wahrhaftigkeit dem Zweck der Demonstration rhetorischer Brillanz untergeordnet habe. Thomas Blank untersucht in seiner Dissertation die Verwendung des bei Isokrates besonders prominenten Exemplums Sparta in dessen gesamtem Werk. Dabei werden erstmals Isokrates' eigene Bemerkungen zur technischen Gültigkeit bestimmter Argumentationsweisen für die Interpretation berücksichtigt. Es lässt sich zeigen, dass die scheinbaren Widersprüche im isokratischen Spartabild Folge einer Vorführung konkurrierender Argumentationstypen sind. Isokrates' technische Kommentare dienen als Hinweise darauf, dass nur manche der von ihm präsentierten Argumente plausibel sein sollen. Gegen die These von der tyrannischen Macht des logos setzt er, Platon keineswegs fernstehend, die Forderung nach Moralität der Rede und fordert die Athener am Beispiel Spartas dazu auf, rhetorisch bekundete moralische Ansprüche auch in praktisches Handeln umzusetzen.
