The Spartan model discussed and rigidified in the "mirage" in contrast with its Ionic and Athenian counterparts, denotes a superficial compactness. The existence of women, in the substantial bipartition marked by procreation, is reiterated as being strictly regulated and teleologically oriented towards eugenic training and motherhood deprived of affection for the needs of the State. This representation, as is well known, is subject to ideologically contrasting reinterpretations. Nicole Loraux’s studies, by highlighting the complexity and osmosis of male/female imagination, by unreservedly investigating ancient documentation, and by integrating Spartan reality into the broader world of the Greek city-states, have a significant merit, still relevant today, of undermining the homogeneity of perspective. They emphasize the difficulty, already faced by the ancients, regarding the proclaimed coherence of male and female roles, in Sparta as elsewhere, delineated by civic "nomos". Among the expressions of this difficulty is the judgment of "anomothétenon", at the opposite pole of the Spartan model, resulting from 'natural' female intemperance: unregulatable, it seems to escape any ideology.
