The Spartans created a system which produced the best warriors the ancient world had yet seen. This started by removing the young boy (as well as girl) from the home at age seven, and pushing them through a rigorous training program which they followed for the majority of their lives. After several years of training the girls left to marry older men, while the boys continued. This was a very structured, orderly society that instilled extreme discipline into the young men. These warriors were created not so much because of fear of invaders, but rather the fear of revolution against them by their massive slave population (known as helots).

∙ 13y agoSparta was the leading military city-state of ancient Greece. Male citizens were exposed to military drills as children. Boys were encouraged to fight one another, and the training only got more strict as they aged. They could enlist in military service at the age of 20, and military duty lasted until the age of 60. The role of all Spartan soldiers was to be brave and never flee in battle.
