Abstract
"Mention of Greece and the site of ancient Sparta, surrounded by mountains in the region of Laconia, brings to mind a male-dominated, militaristic society devoid of artistic culture. But this describes the later Archaic and Classical Sparta. Artifacts dating from at least the eighth century B.C., from the goddess Artemis Orthia's sanctuary in Sparta, attest to a city rich in culture with interests other than warfare. This scenario is illuminated by a fragmentary, bronze vessel handle that has a close connection with the Laconian region and the goddess Orthia and her cult."--First paragraph.
