Source Type Physical type of source Discourse Translation Accordingly those who gave to Greece the specific form of her governments were in favour of having young men's bodies strengthened by toil; the citizens of Sparta applied the same rule to women, who in all other cities lead a luxorious mode of life and are "sequestered behind the shadow of walls". The Spartans however wished for nothing of that sort in Spartan maids Whose cares are wrestling, sun, Eurotas, dust and toil Of drill far more than barbarous fecundy It follows that the pain sometimes intervenes in these toilsome exercises: the victims are driven on, struck, flung aside or fall, and toil of itself brings a certain callousness to pain.
