Tyrtaeus[edit]

The article looks poorly sourced. For example, it mentions Tyrtaeus as a Spartan leader, something found in many primary sources but which scholars today would not accept without heavy qualification. The source seems to be: >Saunders, Dr.L.J. History 223. Montreal: Concordia University. October 31, 2007</ref>. What kind of source is that? It looks like lecture notes.
