Morality and Lycurgus's system.I am sorry, but what do you mean with the first and the latter?
If he didn't he could just move away and be an general or advisor in another state and lead a rich live. If he could make it that far at least.Maybe because he didn't do it willingly? After all, luxury was not allowed by law. Anyway, although currency was abolished, there still were differences in wealth. Thirdly, greed is not the only reason for corruption: ambition often plays a role as well. And the Spartan system did not try to curb ambition.
Who says they didn't do it willingly? The choice to live so came from the Spartans themselves when they were convinced by Lycurgus.
Spartans sure had ambition, in honour, have large amounts of money only damages your honour.
That at Politics even an child could advice the king, try to find anything like that in another state.Again, I must ask for clarification. The fact that his daughter persuaded him not to accept a bribe says what?
From your post you keep going by modern day standards and try to fit them into Sparta as in wealth and the like. Sparta just is alien compared with pretty much all we know so modern day standards don't really fit in there.
