[PAR] [TLE] Sparta [SEP] Sparta (Doric Greek: Σπάρτα, "Spártā" ; Attic Greek: Σπάρτη, "Spártē" ) was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece.  In antiquity the city-state was known as Lacedaemon (Λακεδαίμων, "Lakedaímōn" ), while the name Sparta referred to its main settlement on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese.  Around 650 BC, it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece. [PAR] [TLE] Gylippus [SEP] Gylippus ( ; Greek: Γύλιππος) was a Spartan general of the 5th century BC; he was the son of Cleandridas, who was the adviser of King Pleistoanax and had been expelled from Sparta for accepting Athenian bribes in 446 BC and fled to Thurii, a pan-Hellenic colony then being founded in the instep of Italy with Athenian help and participation.  His mother may have been a helot, which meant he was not a true Spartiate but a mothax, a man of inferior status.  Despite this, however, from an early childhood he was trained for war in the traditional Spartan fashion and on reaching maturity had been elected to a military mess, his dues contributed by a wealthier Spartiate patron.  For an individual of marginal origins, war was an opportunity to gain honour and eminence.
