The Primary Source I have found is a document by Xenophon titled “The Spartan War Machine”
It is significant to our discussion of rhetorical theory and practices in Ancient Greece because it not only shows how someone in Ancient Greece spoke and wrote, it shows how the Spartans prepare themselves for war and the day to day activities of a Spartan.
I selected this text because The Spartans have always been a very interesting group of people to me. They are the elite warriors of their time, not necessarily needing a huge militia but a skilled one.
