Sparta has always been the topic of cultural inspiration. Such admiration of the Spartans is referred to as Laconism or Laconophilia. The famous Battle of Thermopylae for ages has been the topic for various artists, as it is perhaps the most famous military last stand of all times.

In Greek mythology, Sparta was the daughter of Eurotas and  wife of Lacedaemon. The city of Sparta is said to have been named after her, however, the city was often called Lacedaemon as well. The two names were used interchangeably. Sparta was represented on a sacrificial tripod at Amyclae. She was said to be a fair and beautiful maiden worth defending and protecting at all costs. Villages and armies would often shout her name before entering battle representing what they were fighting for.

In Second Life, The Spartan Empire represents both a cultural and a combat venues. Containing a big piece of Greek history, with art exhibitions, which has been on display for 7 years at the Museum, a great library containing nearly 500 books to read about Spartan and Greek Mythology.  Also, events such as stage plays, rehearsals, concerts, tournaments, contests, all in ancient Greek thematic environment.  These are all open to every visitor who visits our majestic sim.

The Spartan Empire is the focal point of the Ancient World family in Second Life for being constantly here over 7 years.  Our monthly major events are planned to draw visitors to our sim, and to promote culture, literature, mythology and combat.

Speaking as someone who has spent almost 3 years in the ancient sims of SL, I can say Sparta is among the greatest of them all.  It has been around a long time, a very stable sim with almost non stop traffic.  Always interesting.  Sparta is also known as a great training area for those interested in meter system fighting in SL.  Highly recommended.
