026. The Spartan Regime with Professor Paul Rahe

Spartan History Podcast

EPISODE 26: THE SPARTAN REGIME WITH PROFESSOR PAUL RAHE
Author, classicist and historian Professor Paul Rahe was kind enough to sit down with your host for this instalment of Spartan History Podcast.
Paul has authored several books on the Lacedaemonians and his work, the Spartan Regime, is incredibly poignant to our current narrative. Focusing on the archaic formation of the Spartan institutions and character, it has been a great help to me as I've tried to reconstruct the various elements of what would constitute the classical Sparta so heavily romanticised.
The Professor takes us back to the bronze age briefly, and we work through the consequent dark age and into the early period of the Dorian migration into Laconia. It is, I hope, a great summarisation of our journey so far and hope you all enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
I'm very grateful for Paul's time and if anyone is interested in his work links will be listed below for the E titles of his books.
Take good care.
