Plutarch, Moralia 232 D – 236 E:
28.
Philip [sc. von Makedonien] wrote at the time when he entered their country, asking whether they wished that he should come as a friend or as a foe; and they made answer, “Neither [οὐδέτερον].”

30.
When Demetrius (4) complained that they had sent only one ambassador to him, they replied, “Is it not enough – one to one? [οὐχ ἱκανὸς οὖν, εἶπον, εἰ πρὸς ἕνα εἷς;]”

32.
When two brothers quarrelled with each other, the Spartans fined the father because he permitted his sons to quarrel.

35.
In the case of another boy, when the time had arrived during which it was the custom for the free boys to steal whatever they could, and it was a disgrace not to escape being found out, when the boys with him had stolen a young fox alive, and given it to him to keep, and those who had lost the fox came in search for it, the boy happened to have slipped the fox under his garment. The beast, however, became savage and ate through his side to the vitals; but the boy did not move or cry out, so as to avoid being exposed, and later, when they had departed, the boys saw what had happened, and blamed him, saying that it would have been better to let the fox be seen than to hide it even unto death; but the boy said, “Not so, but better to die without yielding to the pain than through being detected because of weakness of spirit to gain a life to be lived in disgrace.”

[Plutarch, Moralia III. Ed. by Frank Cole Babbitt. Cambridge (Mass.)/London 72004, pp. 394-421]

(4) Demetrios I. Poliorketes (294–287 v.u.Z.) oder Demetrios II. Aitolikos (239–229 v.u.Z.)

zu 35.:
Auch die Jungen, die den Kopf schütteln über dieses extreme Verhalten, sind Spartaner.
