THE 300 SPARTANS WHO FOUGHT PERSIA

They were the elite fighting army of the king of Sparta. Sparta was kingdom in the Peleponese (a part of modern Greece). They were trained to fight from when they were children and were known as the best trained soldiers in those times. They did nothing else but train and fight. They did not have trades e.g. farming etc but only trained to be soldiers.

What?Do you really, honestly think that a civilization can survive without trade and farming? They had a professional army, yes. BUT they had free working citizens as farmers and potters etc. They had a slave population, the helots, who were the native population (the nobles being invaders from a time gone by) Of course they traded!! The popular reportIn history, there were around 4000 Greeks at Thermopylae, many forget the Thespians who died with the Spartans and Thebans when the Persians reached their flank.
