Lobo Institute consults, advises and teaches on current and future conflicts, how to end conflicts and prevent their return, and how to help those most affected.
According to the legend, the Spartan law was written by the great lawmaker Lycurgus. Plutarch mentions that Lycurgus (literally “wolf-worker”) wrote the laws in order to make the city state of Sparta invincible, the Spartans fearless and law-abiding. It was a law-package with politico-military, economic and social reforms. Although many historians dispute that Lycurgus ever actually existed as a human being, at Sparta he was worshiped as a demigod.
