Growing up as a girl in ancient Sparta meant being taught to read and write by your mother, who was also literate. This was unthinkable elsewhere in Greece. It also meant being given physical training, so that in the future the young woman would bear healthy little warriors for Sparta's defense.
Growing up as a boy was also unique in Greece. It could mean infanticide if the experts decided the boy was too frail or handicapped as an infant. If one survived that one began physical training at 7 years old, which in essence was the first stages of a military career. Every male was in the military in Sparta. At about 12 years old the boys left their parents and lived in a common "mess" with other boys of varying ages. This was a hard adolescence of fights, Wrestling competitions, stealing each other's food just to survive, enduring hazing type rituals by the older boys, and either surviving to live into adulthood or not making it and probably dying in one of the many tests.

Did the roman empire ever take over Sparta?
"LaconiaYes, I'm guessing your thinking is: "The Spartans were so awesome, they'd have fought off the Romans!". Well, sorry to say, shortly after their glory days in 480BC, Sparta oppressed Thebes one time too many, and they attacked, bringing Sparta to her knees. Sparta lost her rank as a major player in world affairs at that time and by the time the Romans conquered Achaea, it was definitely within Rome's strength to do so" But still to clarify, nobody ever 'took' or 'took over' Sparta. The Roman's reffered to the Spartan's as their 'Cousins' as they had great respect for them and their military accomplishments. Instead the Roman's used the remaining Spartan's to train them and to battle for Rome on missions to rid Rome of any remaining enemies.As for Phillip II and Alexander of Macedonia, neither set foot in Sparta. The story goes, after refusal of entry to Sparta yet the remainder of Greece allowed Phillip in, Phillip sent the Spartan's a letter claiming that 'If I marched my army down the Sparta, it would flatten Sparta to the ground.' The Laconic wit of the Spartan's simply replied, 'IF'! As to say, Phillip never did and nor did Alexander. After Alexander's accomplishments he returned many gifts to Greece with the exception of the Spartan's, as they stood to defy them.Sparta simply could not re-populate its army after a crushing defeat to the Thebans led by Epaminondas at the Battle of Leuctra. And so simply slipped away into the history books, and there's not a lot about them as they were warriors not historians.
