The image of Sparta, and the Spartans, is one dyed indelibly into the public consciousness: musclebound soldiers with long hair and red cloaks, bearing shiny bronze shields emblazoned with the Greek letter lambda. 'This is Sparta ', bellows Leonidas on the silver screen, as he decides to lead his 300 warriors to their deaths at Thermopylae. But what was Sparta? The myths surrounding Sparta are as old as the city itself. Even in antiquity, Sparta was a unique society, considered an enigma. The Spartans who fought for freedom against the Persians called themselves 'equals' or peers, but their equality was reliant on the ruthless exploitation of the indigenous population known as helots. The Spartans' often bizarre rules and practices have the capacity to horrify as much they do to fascinate us today. Athenian writers were intrigued and appalled in equal measure by a society where weak or disabled babies were said to have been examined carefully by state officials before being dumped off the edge of a cliff. Even today their lurid stories have shaped our image of Sparta; a society in which cowards were forced to shave off half their beards, to dress differently from their peers, and who were ultimately shunned to the extent that suicide seemed preferable. Equally appalling to us today is the brutal krypteia, a Spartan rite of passage where teenagers were sent into the countryside armed with a knife and ordered to eliminate the biggest and most dangerous helots. But the truth behind these stories of the exotic other can be hard to discover, lost amongst the legend of Sparta which was even perpetuated by later Spartans, who ran a thriving tourist industry that exaggerated the famed brutality of their ancestors. As Andrew Bayliss explores in this book, there was also much to admire in ancient Sparta, such as the Spartans' state-run education system which catered even to girls, or the fact that Sparta was almost unparalleled in the pre-modern world in allowing women a clear voice, with no fewer than forty sayings by Spartan women preserved in our sources. This book reveals the best and the worst of the Spartans, separating myth from reality.Binding Type: Hardcover

I really like this product!
Color: Collagen
I tried these eye patches that stick right under the eyes, and overall they’re really convenient and easy to use. They adhere well to the skin without sliding around, which makes it simple to wear them while relaxing or getting ready. After using them, my under-eye area felt more hydrated and looked a bit brighter and less puffy. The cooling effect was also soothing, especially when I kept them in the fridge before applying. They didn’t cause any irritation, which is a big plus for sensitive skin.

Truly impressive
Color: Collagen
I am really impressed with this brand.. Biodance.
These collagen peptide eye patches are great for around my eyes and also those pesky laugh lines. Just after a couple of days I’ve seen a noticeable improvement. They have a very nice feel on your face, no skin, irritation, and great value!

Good Results, Slightly Dry Texture
Color: Collagen
I recently tried the BIODANCE Collagen Peptide Eye Patches and they worked pretty well for my under-eye area. The patches are packed with collagen peptides and feel nice and cooling when you first apply them. After 20–30 minutes, my skin looked a bit plumper and more hydrated, and the fine lines around my eyes appeared softer.
The only downside is that they can be a little dry compared to some other eye patches I’ve used. Overall though, I noticed a visible difference in brightness and smoothness after consistent use for a few days. They’re convenient, easy to use, and do deliver on the anti-wrinkle and hydrating claims to a decent degree. If you don’t mind them being on the drier side, I’d recommend giving them a try — especially for targeting smile lines and tired-looking eyes.

Nice First Use, Feels Refreshing and Soothing!
Color: Collagen, Color: Collagen
I just started using the BIODANCE Collagen Peptide Eye Patches a couple of days ago, so this is an early impressions review.
The packaging looks nice and the jar is easy to open and store. The patches are well soaked in serum and feel very cooling and refreshing when applied under the eyes. They stick well and don’t slide around, which makes them easy to wear while doing other things.
So far, I like how hydrating they feel on my skin. They give an instant refreshed look right after use, especially in the morning. I haven’t used them long enough yet to see long-term results on fine lines or wrinkles, but I’m excited to continue using them and see how my skin improves over time.
Overall, first impressions are positive and I think they’re a nice addition to a self-care routine.
