Written by Spartans or their enemies?
Relatively books written by Spartans exist. High culture wasn't their forte, generally.
Xenophon, Plato and Aristotle deny it. Others (many of them enemies, or those who would probably be hostile to the Spartans) allege it.

It sounds as if it is speculation, then. Perhaps it is an academic fiction hoped for by pederast classicists.
