Athens-Sparta

Organized in conjunction with the Onassis Cultural Center's groundbreaking exhibition Athens-Sparta, the International Conference explored the archaeological and historical elements of the ancient relationship and conflict between the rival city-states, and provided insight into the artistic development of the Attic and Laconic cultures. Particular to these proceedings is the inclusion of papers relating to the archaeology of Sparta and constituting a good starting point for publicizing current research expanding our knowledge of this highly significant ancient city and attesting to its importance in the history of Ancient Greece.
