Rise of Sparta
We follow the rise of Sparta, from the earliest myths concerning Heracles to the supremacy over the Peloponnese. Conquest of nearby Messenia greatly accelerated Spartan rise, and in the span of two hundred years, Sparta rose from a small village community to the chief polis in all of Greece.
