Spartan courage and the social function of Plutarch's Laconian apophthegms
2017
Overview
Plutarch's Laconian apophthegms present an image of Spartan courage that can be traced to fifth century Sparta. This ideology of courage has four main aspects: willingness to die in battle; the interchangeability of Spartan citizens; the role of Spartan women as the arbiters of masculine behavior; and the role of Spartan education in developing courage. Contrary to the general view of Plutarch's Laconian apophthegms, this theme has not been heavily distorted by fourth and third century philosophy. It is likely that the Spartans were the developers of these aphorisms and that the syssition provided a venue for their development.
