Lakonia, alternatively Laconia but also called the Hollow Land, is a regional unit of Greece situated in the southeastern part of the Peloponnese. Its capital was the city of Sparta, whose militaristic tradition made it one of the most powerful poleis in the 5th century BCE.[1]
Geography
Lakonia's self-sufficient land, blessed with many rivers and an extensive range of flora, helped to sustain its people's independent culture. Bounded to the west by Mount Taygetos, to the east by Mount Parnon, and to the north by highlands, the nation was gifted with natural defenses which only served to reinforce Sparta's military might.[1]
