Tyrtaeus, a Spartan poet, emphasized the values of courage, discipline, and self-sacrifice in battle. He believed that Spartan warriors should be willing to die for their city-state and should prioritize the success and honor of Sparta above their own lives. Tyrtaeus also stressed the importance of unity and cohesion among soldiers in order to achieve victory on the battlefield.

Arete by Tyrtaeus

Tyrtaeus emphasizes the importance of courage, discipline, loyalty to the state, and selflessness in battle. Spartans were expected to prioritize the needs of the community over personal glory, exhibit unwavering bravery on the battlefield, and adhere to a strict code of honor in their conduct as warriors.

The men who wrote elegiac poetry were known as elegiac poets. Some notable examples of ancient Greek elegiac poets include Callinus, Tyrtaeus, Mimnermus, Solon, Theognis, and Phocylides. These poets often expressed themes of love, loss, war, and the passage of time in their works.
