To prove you are worthy to be a Spartan warrior, you must pass the test,
but first we must train you.
Soldiers took the boys from their mothers at age 7, housed them in a
dormitory with other boys and trained them as soldiers. The mother's
softening influence was considered detrimental to a boy's education. The
boys endured harsh physical discipline and deprivation to make them strong.
The marched without shoes and went without food. They learned to fight,
endure pain and survive through their wits. The older boys willingly
participated in beating the younger boys to toughen them. Self-denial,
simplicity, the warrior code, and loyalty to the city-state governed their lives
Sparta was one of the many Greek islands. It was known
for its soldiers. The city of Sparta was a city state in
ancient Greece , situated on the River Eurotas in the
southern part of the Peloponnese . It was the dominant
military power in the region. They worshiped the Greece
gods like Zeus, god of the sky and thunder. We will go
over it more later.
