EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Sparta, revealing the source of its formidable military power. The image showcases the Dromos or Racecourse and Gymnasia as they would have appeared centuries ago. Published in 1908 as part of the renowned book "Harmsworth History of the World" this illustration by Ken Welsh offers a glimpse into Greece's rich history. The picture transports us to an era where Greek warriors honed their physical prowess and mental discipline within these sacred grounds. The Dromos, a sprawling racecourse, served not only as a venue for athletic competitions but also as a training ground for Spartan soldiers. Here, young men pushed their limits, striving to become fierce warriors capable of defending their city-state. Adjacent to the Dromos stands the Gymnasia - an architectural marvel that housed various facilities essential for physical education and military training. Within its walls, Spartans engaged in rigorous exercises such as wrestling, boxing, and discus throwing under expert guidance. Through this evocative image captured over a century ago, we witness how Sparta harnessed its military might through disciplined training on these hallowed grounds. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and sacrifice required to forge legendary armies that shaped ancient Greece's destiny. As we admire this historical snapshot from "Harmsworth History of the World" let it transport us back in time and ignite our imagination about life in ancient Sparta – where strength was revered above all else.
