This is the second of two episodes in which we interviewed Professor Stephen Hodkinson from the University of Nottingham (UK). Professor Hodkinson is a widely published and widely respected Spartan specialist who founded the Centre for Spartan and Peloponnesian Studies at the University of Nottingham with his colleague Professor William Cavanagh in 2005. The interview explores Professor Hodkinson's broader view on Sparta and also explore some contemporary appropriations of Spartan history.
