Abstract
This study will analyse Thucydides' presentation of the Spartans. Does Thucydides present a consistent portrayal of the Spartans or does he evaluate the Spartans' performance case by case? If Thucydides does indeed present a unified portrayal of the Spartans, can we talk of him as an admirer or detractor of the Spartans?
