How was Sparta's military different from greases military?

Answer 1

Sparta's military was only Spartan Citizens and had almost no archers. The training began at age 6 when a boy was taken from his mother and pressed into a harsh military school where they were regularly beaten and starved encourging strentgh, loyalty, and taking what you need. Spartan boys often stole from Helots, which were spartan slaves, to get food. When they were ready they went into the mountains and had to survive for 10 days to a month, with only a adult Spartan there to make sure he didnt cheat, abnd mabye another boy. Greeks were a lot less physical in their training. They were a sign up army. Often boys washed out from cities because tehy weren't use to the training. And the training was not as tough.
