Produktinformationen "The Rewards of Dependency and the Cost of Revolt: Sparta and the Perioikic Poleis"
The ancient state of the Lakedaimonians was composed of Spartiates - citizens of Sparta with full citizenship rights - and the so-called perioikoi (literally: 'those who dwell around'), who lived in small, self-governing towns around Sparta. The perioikoi were personally free but lacked the ability to autonomously decide matters of foreign or military policy. Spartiates and (elite) perioikoi were fellow, if unequal, citizens: they fought side by side, worshipped the same gods and upheld the same conservative values. To the outside Greek world, all alike shared in the legendary military glory of Lakedaimon, but inside their home state, the perioikoi were second-class citizens. Even so, only very few perioikic poleis attempted to shake off Spartiate overlordship during their centuries of shared history. This essay seeks to determine the costs and the rewards of unfreedom, and to answer the question of why some poleis chose the risky course of revolt when so many did not.
