Description

The Spartan Twins is a children's book written by Lucy Fitch Perkins. It tells the story of two twin brothers, Ariston and Scopas, who live in ancient Sparta. The boys are very different in personality, with Ariston being brave and adventurous, while Scopas is more cautious and thoughtful. The book follows the boys as they grow up in Sparta, learning about the Spartan way of life, which emphasizes physical strength and military prowess. They train in the gymnasium, learn to hunt and fish, and participate in various competitions and festivals. As they get older, the twins begin to take on more responsibility and become leaders in their community. Ariston becomes a soldier, while Scopas becomes a scholar and teacher. However, they both remain loyal to each other and to their Spartan values. The Spartan Twins is a charming and educational book that introduces children to the culture and history of ancient Sparta. It is filled with colorful illustrations and engaging stories that will capture the imaginations of young readers.Under the arcade in the court there was a small wooden table. Chloe and Daphne lifted it and brought it near the fire. Then they brought a plain wooden bench that also stood under the thatch and placed it beside the table. They arranged cushions of lamb's wool upon the bench, and near the foot set a low stool. Daphne brought the dishes, and when everything was ready, Lydia sent Chloe to call her husband and the Stranger, while she herself went out to the farm-yard. She found Dion and Argos sitting side by side on the wood-pile in dejected silence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
