All his reforms were directed towards the three Spartan virtues: equality (among citizens), military fitness, and austerity.[1]<br /><br />He is referred to by ancient historians and philosophers Herodotus, Xenophon, Plato, Polybius, Plutarch and Epictetus. It is not clear if this Lycurgus was an actual historical figure; however, many ancient historians[2] believed Lycurgus was responsible for the communalistic and militaristic reforms that transformed Spartan society, most notably the Great Rhetra. Ancient historians place him in the first half of the 8th century BC.[citation needed]<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycurgus_%28Sparta%29<br />...just as long as we're talkin' Sparta here.....Ispeak4uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09931196237519785889noreply@blogger.com
