Best Answer

Because of the infant's weak/deformed physical nature. But there are many version of 'excuses' in this case. (Or something like that.)

Additional: Most likely, the infants were thrown into, (I don't know if there was a pit or cave), a certain mountain called Mt.Taytarus.

Were weak spartan babies killed?

Yes, and they were either thrown off a cliff or drowned. They figured the weak were no use to Sparta because its main focus was its military. Yes, if the babies were weak or sick, they would be dropped off a cliff or turned into a helot, a slave to the Spartans. Spartans only looked for strong babies for their military. If the baby was weak or deformed, it would be no use because they proved a weak spot in the phalanx. They needed someone to watch their allies backs while maintaining form.


Is hades weak?

Hades is a ancient Greece god. Hades rules in the underworld also known as the land of the dead. There are no reasons why Hades would be weak. He isn't in the underworld because he was bad or weak or anything like that, but because he lost when they randomly picked who would have to go to the underworld. There are no myths about Hades being weak. Though there are many who explains how powerful, cruel and merciless he is. No, Hades is probably not weak, but "strong".
