The Sacred Band by James Romm
A concise narrative history of the Theban Sacred Band—an elite corps of paired male lovers—tracing how their cohesion and military innovations under leaders like Pelopidas and Epaminondas defeated Sparta at Leuctra, propelled a brief Theban hegemony, and ultimately fell at Chaeronea to Philip II, while situating those events within the politics, personalities, and sources of classical Greece.
