Laconia

Laconia o Lakonia (Gr. Λακωνία, Lakonía, [lakoˈni.a]) es un region historic e administrative de Grecia locate in le parte sudoriental del peninsula Peloponneso.[1] Su capital administrative es Sparta.

Le parola "laconic"—parlante de maniera brusc e concise—es derivate del nomine de iste region, un referencia al ancian Spartanos qui esseva famose pro lor austeritate verbal. Un anecdota traditional conta del menacia de invasion per Philippo de Macedonia, (patre de Alexandro Magne), qui diceva "si io intra in Laconia, io rasara Sparta completemente" al qual le Spartanos respondeva con le sol parola "'si.'"[2]
