Ducat, Jean. Spartan Education: Youth and Society in the Classical Period. Classical Press of Wales, 2006.

Should get rid of citation 5, links to a non-reliable source and is unnecessary since the Hornblower citation is there?

Spartan boys and girls may have interacted with each other during education

Nisson 1908: girls and boys went through more or less same "agoge" - Ducat does not agree

Ducat discusses the possibility that Spartan girls took part in a similar state-sponsored agoge education

Spartan girls did not participate in the agoge, although they may have received a similar state-sponsored education.

Spartan boys were enrolled in the agoge in their seventh year of life, potentially on the first day of the year, which may have been marked by the Hyacinthia festival.
