Este es el gran libro sobre la ciudad-Estado griega que fraguó su leyenda en los campos de batalla merced a unos ciudadanos que hicieron del coraje y la capacidad de sacrificio sus señas de identidad, pero al mismo tiempo encarnaron de forma sublimada las ideas de libertad política y de virtud cívica que ponían a la comunidad, al bien común, por encima de todo interés particular. En este sentido, Esparta fue la ciudad de la virtud y de la guerra.
Esta es su historia desde los tiempos míticos, que dieron paso a la formación de la polis de Lacedemonia, hasta la pérdida de su independencia en el año 192 a. C. Un viaje de siete siglos marcados por el auge y declive de esta potencia de la antigua Grecia donde el lector podrá adentrarse en los aspectos que integraban su >i>kósmos, el peculiar «orden» establecido por ese legislador mítico que fue Licurgo: su régimen político, sus instituciones y costumbres, su complejo universo social, su ejército, su economía carente de moneda, su severo sistema educativo, sus cultos ancestrales y, en fin, su literatura, música y arte, que fueron muy ricos antes del advenimiento de una «revolución» que hizo de Esparta el Estado hermético, secretista, austero y militarista que la tradición nos ha legado.
César Fornis aborda este estudio holístico con una exposición clara, rigurosa y documentada, pero sobre todo honesta, lo cual significa renunciar a dar por sentado dataciones, hechos o procesos poco claros o bien aceptar de forma acrítica lo que solo son hipótesis. Con todo, los criterios académicos no están reñidos con la amenidad, de ahí las abundantes anécdotas y aforismos que, aun de dudosa verosimilitud, ilustran el contexto y la mentalidad en los cuales se forjaron.
