What the hell were the priveleges of the kings? I studied the role of kings n shit and i could find no where what the priveleges of Spartan kings were so i thought meh fug it, we prob wont get a Q on it...

And low and behold!

I just said that they were priveleged to have a dignified funeral whereby the whole country lamented his death and no public office was held for ten days after? :confused:

Lycurgus permitted a King to take a piglet from every sow's litter...In addition a pool near his residence supplies plenty of water...And everyone must rise from their place for the king, except ephors from their chairs of office...Nothing much above the level of private citizens - Xenophon
