‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society (2013)
Journal Article
Davies, P. (2013). ‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society. Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte, 62(3), 259-279. https://doi.org/10.25162/historia-2013-0013

In the course of his exhaustive study regarding the development of the term kalos kagathos, Félix Bourriot has proposed a specifically Spartan usage of the term, with a narrow military meaning. Here, I critically examine his arguments for this Sparta... Read More about ‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society.
