'There is no acropolis within the Lacedaemonians that stands out high like Cadmeia of the Thebans and Larisa of the Argives. But being in the city hills and other heights, the highest of all they call acropolis. Here was built the temple of Athena called Poliouchos and also Chalkoikou.' From Pausanias' Description of Greece. Laconia. Book 3:16(1-2).
‘While everything said before still in force, Sparta did not have the conduct of a city but the life of an ascetic and wise man. Rather, like the poets devise myths of Heracles with a lion’s skin and a club traversing the inhabited world punishing the lawless and savage tyrants, likewise the city simply with an envoy staff and cloak reigned a willing and eager Greece. Abolished unjust dynasties and tyrannies in the states, arbitrated wars and put to an end seditions, many times without moving a single shield but sending one ambassador that all immediately executed his commands, like the bees, when the leader appears, swarm together and surrounding him. So excessive was the good government and justice in the city.’ From Plutarch’s Lives. Lycurgos.
