Athens
Obedience, endurance, military success - these were the aims constantly kept
in view, and beside these all other ends took a secondary place.
The city of Sparta lies at the southern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the
Eurotas River. It was a strategic site, guarded on three sides by mountains and controlling the routes
by which invading armies could penetrate Laconia and the southern Peloponnesus via the Langhda
Pass over Mt Taygetus. At the same time, its distance from the sea – Sparta was 27 miles from its
seaport, Gythium – made it difficult to blockade.
