Beyond 300 - Ancient Sparta and the Spartan Way
Valor, Virtue, and Devotion in the Greek Golden Age

Timothy B. Shutt
Narrator:
The Professor
A born teacher and lecturer, Professor Timothy B. Shutt examines the history and culture of ancient Sparta, a society renowned for military excellence and adherence to the values of courage, discipline, duty, and the overcoming of fear. Vastly outnumbered at the Battle of Thermopylae, the Spartan “300” held off an overwhelming Persian force before finally succumbing— but not without inflicting massive casualties and inspiring the rest of the Greeks with the notion that they could persevere. In this enlightening series of lectures, Professor Shutt delves into Spartan culture, examining its origins, government, religion, and the major events that defined its history.
