A Critical Book Review: Spartan Women by: Sarah B. Pomeroy It goes without saying that during the time of Ancient Greeks‚ the lives of human beings and the things considered important vary greatly compared to those living today. More heavily centered on male-dominance and government‚ the land of Sparta was very different from its surrounding Greek counterparts.
