At the annual festival of Dia'na CVthia, to enable them to bear pain they were severely whipped ; their fiithers stood by, exhorting them to forti tude, and the youths endeavoured to surpass each other in firmness. Who ever uttered the least cry was considered to be disgraced. The art of swim, ming the Spartans thought very important, and the greatest reproach that eould be bestowed on a man, was to say, ** he canH even swim.'* Conciseness of language was much studied, and the term ''laconic** ...has been long used to signify a short, pithy manner of speaking. 9. The Spartans exercised, for a period of 500 years, a powerful influence over the affairs of Greece. Their constant disputes with the Athenians involved all the other States, and produced a series of wars, in which they finally became predominant; but, intoxicated by the dominion they had gained, and corrupted by luxury, they departed from their ancient disci- pline, and lost their ascendancy. 10. The chief city of Laco'nia was Sparta; it stood on the Euro'tas, the most beautiful and limpid of all the Grecian streams.
