Spartan mothers and wives gave their men their shield before they went to war and told them "with your shield or on it." In other words, come back alive with your shield, never having run in panic from the enemy, or come back on it, dead.

Why did Spartan women have to do sports?

Everyone had to do sports in Rome and other places like that because they often had to go to war and even Spartan Women fought.Dude. What are you on?The role of Spartan women in Ancient Sparta was to produce strong and healthy children who in turn could become mighty warriors. The Spartans believed that if the woman was strong, healthy and phyisically fit, any children she produced would also be strong, healthy and fit. Therefore, Spartan women participated in sports, such as gymnastics, wrestling and foot and horse races, to make sure they were fit enough to produce strong babies.Also, Spartan women did not fight. Only the males went away to fight. The female Spartans actually ended up owning most of the spartan farms because their husbands did not return from battle.
