Imagine if they chuck a troll and the whole exam is about apples. They don't even have options. Just a list of questions about apples, maybe not even in relation to ancient societies... just apples

...apples.

Last dot point under Cultural life:
Greek writer's and their views of Sparta: (massive list of historians)

 Writing and literature: Alcman and Tyrtaeus:

 During the 7th and 6th centuries BC, Sparta attracted singers, poets and artists from Greece to its festivals.
 The poetry of Alcman and Tyrtaeus, however, describes a social revolution – from leisured life to a suppressed one based on collective military discipline. About the time of the Second Messenian War, Spartan literature declined, cultural pursuits ended, and Sparta’s economy stagnated.
 The poet, Tyrtaeus, wrote elegies which are the main evidence for 7th century BC Spartan history.
 Tyrtaeus inspired Spartans to regain their lost ideals and military efficiency. He proposed the following:
1) Eunomia, or good order;
2) Citizen loyalty;
3) Training soldiers to fight without fear;
4) All Spartans to serve the state and demos (people of Sparta).
 Greek Writers views of Sparta: Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, Aristotle, Pausanias, Plutarch:

Aristotle was critical of Sparta. His main objections were:
1) Spartans should not have kept helots while they had hostile neighbours.
2) Women had too much freedom, and dominated their men.
3) Women’s land-ownership reduced the number of full (male) citizens.
4) Spartans did not prepare for anything other than warfare, and so had nothing to achieve after their victories.

Thucydides on Sparta:
1) Admired the Spartan way of life, but was happy not to be part of it.
2) Held admiration for Sparta’s internal strength and self-sufficiency.
3) Saw Sparta was an outdated society, unchanged for more than 400 years.
4) The helot problem revealed Sparta’s weakness.
5) Accused Spartans for their lack of imagination.

Xenophon on Sparta:
1) Praised the modesty and obedience of Spartan youth.
2) Acknowledged the rationale of Spartan education: to produce good soldiers.
3) Enjoyed the fact that youth had much respect for their elders and rulers.

 Herodotus was an Ionian Greek who wrote from a pro-Athenian perspective. He comments on Spartan foreign policy and it’s extremely critical of Sparta’s mixed constitution.
 Plutarch was responsible for the work the Life of Lyrcurgus and gives a complete commentary on the Spartan mixed constitution and functions of government.
 Pausanias was a Spartan king and provides a pro-Spartan view on the function and operation of the Spartan mixed constitution.
