Sparta was not an oligarchy (= rule by the few), it was a limited democracy with an assembly of male citizens who voted on matters put to them by the council. It could not be an oligarchy as the warriors had to have their say in the state, or simply would not fight for the state. The aristocracy knew this full well and gave them their say in assembly.
