Sparta
Revisted - A very noteworthy (and ambitious!) site that
presents ancient Sparta without the typical negative biases.
General Ancient Greek History
The Perseus
Project - One of the most respected Classics history sites
on the Internet. This site could take weeks to fully explore.
King
Leonidas and the 300 Spartans of Thermopylae - A weblog maintained by a devoted fan of the Spartans and
"The 300 Spartans", John Trikeriotis.
The Phalanx -
A live discussion group focusing on the ancient Greek military.
Laconian Professionals
- A page created by Laconian descendents about Laconia, spanning
the period of ancient Sparta, through the middle ages (Byzantine
era), all the way to modern times. Lots of information for prospective
visitors.
The Hoplite Association
- An increasingly robust and prolific Greek historical group.
Their website is very informative, well-illustrated, and humorous
at parts. Their status as a living history group gives them
a distinct edge in creating a visually compelling webpage; they
can take their own photographs!
Matthew Amt's Greek Hoplite
Page - A very interesting page detailing the author's acquisition
and creation of Greek arms and armour. Shows step by step how
to create a hoplon by hand-a surprisingly complex process! Good
set of links too.
Legion Fourteen
Ancient Greece page - These are the guys that you see on
the TV specials!
David Espriu's
Ancient Greek Reenactor Group - Impressive! Page is originally
in Spanish, so click
here to access the automatically translated version.(The
image links don't work properly in the translated version, so
you'll have to load both versions to get the full effect.)
Miscellaneous
Behind the
scenes of "Jason And The Argonauts" - A collection
of moments from the creation of the TV-movie "Jason
And The Argonauts" posted by one of the actors.
History of
Persia: Cyrus the Great - Details the history of the Persian
Empire and its founder, Cyrus the Great. Excellent for perspective
on the Persians, who did much more for civilization than they
are generally credited with. Contrast what you read here with
what you see on The
300 Spartans!
