Where to starting time with this book?

This was without question an important book to read for my inquiry, as it opened upwardly many new avenues of research, and presented many sources I hadn't encountered previously in its exploration of Spartan pedagogy during the classical catamenia. I cannot mistake the academic foundations on which this volume was built.

However, at that place were many, many times when the author and I clearly approached the bailiwick in hand from what must be called, not only unlike angles, just different planets entirely.
A pocket-sized example, he states that it is 'incommunicable' that the boys were living communally from the historic period of vii and posits that they did then, arbitrarily in my view, from the historic period of twelve instead, living at home with their family unit in the meantime.
Their living communally is clearly not impossible, and he then takes this betoken and runs with information technology, inventing pedagogues and schoolrooms (or rather, spends much fourth dimension in discussing whether there were school rooms or not) and a great amount of other detail for which there is no attestation at all - and which springs from his frankly strange notion that the boys joining the agoge and 'living in' at seven didn't happen - even though it is attested, and equally I encounter it, at that place is no reason to invent annihilation to explain this.

There are many, many points similar this at which I found it hard to sympathize his reasoning, or every bit I should properly say, at which we disagreed on points of analysis, and I could write several essays on the subject.

Suffice it to say here that this book was challenging to read, academically speaking, but was worth it.
