FIFTY YEARS SINCE THE PUBLICATION OF PAVEL OLIVA’S SPARTA AND HER SOCIAL PROBLEMS.

The text attempts to trace the influence of Pavel Oliva’s monograph Sparta and Her Social Problems, published fifty years ago as of this year. Following a very brief presentation of Oliva’s research on Sparta, it traces the citations of his most important monograph in English, German, French, Italian, and Israeli scholarly literature, and more summarily in selected publications by Belgian, Dutch, Estonian, Greek, Polish, Serbian, and Spanish scholars.
