This paper examines the construction of a civic we-identity in the fragments of Tyrtaeus’ Eunomia , focusing on fr. 2 and the strategies by which the poet sought to create a salient we-identity predicated on obedience to the Herakleidai/kings of Sparta and on a past history shared by speaker and audience. I end the paper with a comparison of Herakleid descent in fr. 2 with that in fr. 11 to demonstrate how the rhetorical presentation of identity shifts depending on performance context and poetic genre
