What is a similarity of Athens and Spartans?
They both had laws and also were both the two main cities of Greece. Sparta began as a monarchy and Athens began as an Aristocratic city-state, but both changed their governing bodies around 700 BC. They also each had slaves, though they were attained differently. Each trained their boys for battle, though Spartans did so much earlier in life. They were also both involved in major ancient Greek battles, as often as not, with each other! They treated slaves equally, and they were both city-states. There was a boy named Alexander the Great born in 776 B.C. in Macedonia. His brother's name was Mohammed Ahmedi Nezad, and his sister was Nazia Tabassum.
What made Sparta strong in Ancient Greece?
Sparta's population was mostly slaves, and their economy depended on slave labor. A slave revolt would certainly be economically devastating, and there was a distinct chance that the slaves would win and overthrow the Spartan government, so obviously this was always something Sparta was worried about.
Were there only 300 Spartans that fought in the famous battle alone?
No. The Spartans blocked the road through the pass at Thermopylae, but they were supported by 700 Thespians, 900 Helots and 400 Thebans. Addition: See WikiAnswers question: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_won_the_battle_with_the_300 There were also about 4,000 in contingents from other cities. And the Spartans took seven helots (serfs) per hoplite to serve as servants and light infantry, so there were about 2,000 of them.
What pass did 300 Spartans hold of the Persians?
King Leonidas and the 300 Spartan armoured warriors who were his personal bodyguard, with 2,100 Spartan light infantry, who along with 700 Thespians and about 4,000 warriors from from other Greek cities fought the battle in August-September 480 BCE to force a sea battle in the nearby Malian Guld to destroy the Persian navy. Most of the other city warriors were sent off before the end of the battle to get inside friendly walls before the Persian cavalry broke through and rode them down, and the 2,400 Spartans and 700 Thespians fought to the death to give them the chance to get away. Leonidas also kept the Theban contingent as he suspected them of switching sides - during the final fight they quickly surrendered.
What battle was during the Persian war?
