Spartan Society (2 Viewers)

[gemita]

To everyone who did Spartan society to the Battle of Leuctra, how did you find it? I was pretty happy with it, nowehere near as hard as some of the trials I've seen floating around, like the Independant and the CSSA. I wrote a fair bit (much of which was waffling, but hey, hopefully the marks will be in there somewhere! Better overkill than underkill.) but I was a bit stuck on the land ownership bit, since I forgot to study it.....

What did everyone write for this section?

 

[randhi]

lol!! yeh i know what you mea, i liked everything but the military elite which i'm sure i'm only going to get 0 or 1, and ownership one, i mean there is so little you explain about it, or maybe thats just me, but i'd definitely agree without, the ownership question, i got stuck as well, i basically rambled everything i knew about it

 

[glitterfairy]

yay for generic stuff. Had no idea about military elite and "privliges" of kings though.

Meh who cares it's over!!! YAY!!!

 

[chriscity1]

I know exactly what I should have written!!!! - Last part talk about the agoge + Spartan education of Women - Marriage, festivals etc.

ownership talk about women controlling property 2/5


Talk about men being given an allotment of Kleros - I should have talked about how the Spartans took over the land from the messenians aagghhh!!!!

 

[gemita]

For military elite I just basically gave them the definition of a spartiate. I loved the priveleges of kings though, we did that exact question for one of our assessments!

 

[mizz_smee]

i liked all the questions i was prepared for them
except the religous festivials
they completly left my mind i was so annoyed

 

[Shimtek]

that bit was pretty easy

i didnt exactly structure things but i got heaps of points for everything

 

[chriscity1]

the land ownership question was about the kleros coz its connected to inheritence of the land and women dowries etc...we never about the messenians??? and thats conquering anywayz not actually ownership...i think ur over analysing

i loved the questions by the way...so much easier than all the other questions floating around that i have seen although the 'military elite' did get me confused

 

[joujou_84]

i did the second question (social structure). it was really weird coz i had done the exact same question in my trails. freaky

 

[super katie]

I want to do history at uni but i'm not sure if i'll do ancient, theres so much more to choose from at uni though. Sparta section was alright, I liked the trial questions better though and I think I waffled ALOT in the ownership of land section but... meh its done

 

[ay_caramba]

spartan society section was great..very happy with that section

 

[Bobcat]

I liked this question, but about teh education.

I wrote about how the kings get fency burial thingies, cause thats all i could remember, and i elite soldier ppl, were soldiers in the front line or something.

I rekon it went ok!

 

[ay_caramba]

btw what did u guys say the military elite were?
i just said it was the class of professional soldier-citizens, Spartiates and that spartan society was geared at producing this class.

erm.. it was only 2 marks..

 

[MissSavage29]

I loved the Sparta section - all the question were perfect!!!! yeah much better then the one we had in the trials

 

[cowgirl_vic]

Totally happy with Sparta. Loved the questions very Similar to catholic trials

 

[senso]

i dunno how i went. My answers were too general i think

 

[bahodl]

yeah in general sparta wasnt too bad - i cant believe i bloody put that spartans were in the army from 30-60 instead of 20-60 but hey what can u do

 

[Comrade nathan]

With the military elite question, do you think they meant the Spartiates or the Hopilites. Because the Spartiates are the social,political elite. The elite unit of the Spartan military are the Hopilites.
