520    During the eighth century BC, Sparta became one of the 
       leading cities of ancient Greece, conquering the southern 
       Peloponnese, and from the mid-sixth century BC until the 
       mid-fourth, Sparta became a military power of recognized 
       importance. For almost two centuries the massed Spartan 
       army remained unbeaten in the field. Spartan officers also
       commanded with great success armies of mercenaries or 
       coalition allies, as well as fleets of war 
       galleys.Although it is the stand of the Three Hundred at 
       Thermopylae that has earned Sparta undying fame, it was 
       her victories over both Persian invaders and the armies 
       and navies of Greek rivals that upheld her position of 
       leadership in Greece. Even a steady decline in Spartiate 
       numbers, aggravated by a terrible earthquake in 464 BC, 
       failed to end Spartan dominance. Only when the Thebans 
       learned how to defeat the massed Spartan army in pitched 
       battle was Sparta toppled from her position of 
       primacy.Scott Rusch examines what is known of the history 
       of Sparta, from the settlement of the city to her defeat 
       at Theban hands, focusing upon military campaigns and the 
       strategic circumstances that drove them. Rusch offers 
       fresh perspectives on important questions of Spartan 
       history, and illuminate some of antiquity’s most 
       notable campaigns. [Elib]
