A Stag Night Planning Primer By: Brett Danielson The stag night is a tradition that goes all the way back to Ancient Greek times when the boys in Sparta gathered for a last blowout before one of their mates stepped off the abyss into married life. While we don't have the films from those early stag do's, we've got a hunch that not a lot has changed since then. The idea is to get piss-drunk, stuff your face with the best food you can get and get your fill of all the things you'll be missing once you tie the knot (read: all t...

Edinburgh Stag Do Ideas By: Brett Danielson While most folk will take any excuse for a party, there are some party reasons that have stood the test of time. Take the stag do, for example. It's been around since at least early Greek times when the lads of Sparta saw to it that their about-to-be-married chums got a send-off that was worthy of Zeus. Today, stag parties have come a long way, but the idea is still the same - one last fling for the happy fellow before he puts on the ball and chain for life.
The Interesting History Of Sparta By: Todd Demas When one studies the history of Sparta, it is difficult to conclude that this society was not one of history's strangest. Maybe due to design by a man names Lycurgus than through developing naturally.
In the last few centuries, quite a few societies have been constructed by committees, and there have been many more failures than successes. The history of Sparta can serve as an example of both a success and a failure, and it would be helpful to remember these ancient people... Tags: history, learning, education, sparta
Ancient Roman Tourists By: Sharon Stajda Route 66 A.D.: On the Trail of Ancient Roman Tourists by Australian author Tony Perrottet chronicles how ancient Rome invented the world’s first tourist industry by sending their citizens on the original “Grand Tour” of famous sites in the ancient world.

Antiquities, ancient Greek pottery is frequently signed By: Terry Kubiak Ancient Greek pottery is frequently signed, sometimes by the potter or the master of the pottery, but only occasionally by the painter.

Ancient Sparta - The True History Of Leonidas And Thermopylae. By: Martyn Shuttleworth Ancient Sparta is a name that everybody knows and recognises. The bravery of Leonidas and the 300 are the heroic basis of myriad Hollywood blockbusters. The betrayal of Menelaos, by beautiful Helen of Troy, is enshrined in glorious Homeric myth and legend. Documentaries and books portray the brutal military regime, and the abhorrent practice of exposing weak infants in the harsh Taygetos Mountains.

Byzantine Mystras - The Jewel Of The Peloponnese By: Martyn Shuttleworth The city of Mystras was, for a period of time, the most important city of the Byzantine world, outside Constantinople itself. The town came to be an important part of Eastern Mediterranean history, from its founding in 1242, until the building of modern Sparti, in 1831. Greeks, Franks, Turks, Albanians and mighty Constantinople fought over it for many years; whoever held sway over the citadel controlled the strategically important Peloponnese region. Mystras was given UNESCO world heritage site status, in 1989, and provides a fascinating insight into the history of the area. The citadel is an imposing sight on the skyline, and the surrounding town is filled with fresco adorned churches and monasteries. It is impossible to visit Sparta without taking the time to make the short journey here. Tags: byzantine mystras, mystras, palaiologoi, lacedaemonia, principate of achaia, byzantine empire, c
