The Trace of Sparta in Sixteenth-Century Humanism and Utopia
Abstract In the 16th century the ancient Sparta was, as a state, an explicit political reference not only for theorists who, with their strong links to the classical past, sought above all social and constitutional stability for Renaissance republics with ambitious geopolitical designs, but also for others who opposed in their writings the growing support for absolute monarchy. As an idyllic and timeless society, formed by citizens who were models of freedom and civic virtues, Sparta was also veiled inspiration for utopians who dreamed of a better, ideal world, a refuge in which to escape the corrupt and mundane reality surrounding them.
