The Bronze Lie

Shattering the Myth of Spartan Warrior Supremacy

Myke Cole
Myke Cole investigates the reality behind the so-called ‘Spartan Mirage’, the persistent myth about the exceptional battlefield prowess of the ancient Greek world’s most militaristic society. By considering more than 120 engagements from the full range of classical history he reveals just how often Sparta was defeated, why the rigidity of its military culture held it back and how its propaganda created the pervasive image of Spartan warriors’ stoic toughness.
