38 For the history of the battle itself, see in particular Hamilton (1991) chap. 7, “The Road to Leuctra.”

39 Arist., Pol. 2.9 (1271b3-5); 7.14 (1334a8-9). In the latter passage, Aristotle places the blame for Spartan failure squarely on Lycurgus’s shoulders: “The reason is that the legislator has not educated them to be capable of being at leisure.” Compare Isoc., On the Peace 95–110. As Isocrates suggests, contra Aristotle, Sparta was hardly at peace between 404 and 371 b.c.e.; indeed Sparta fought all too frequently (Plut., Ages. 26.3).
