According to Herodotus and Thucydides, between the 8th century BC and the 7th Sparta suffered a period of lawlessness and civil strife. [4] As a result, they perform a series of political and social reforms in the society which they associate with their law giver, Lykourgos [5 ] These changes mark the early history of classical Sparta.
