Did Spartans fight only to defend their homeland? They attach so much importance to the military, do they also yearn for an idyllic dream home?

Sparta is a military slave city-state and a powerful military gang in Greek cities. In the process of hegemony over Greece, Sparta, Athens and other city-states fought for their own interests, and Sparta even resorted to external forces such as Persia.

In the face of foreign aggression, of course, Sparta is fighting to defend its homeland, but in fact, Sparta's ambition to expand is not small.

At the same time of military training, Spartans also instilled in children the idea that Spartans were noble and heroes were humble. Instructors often insult and whip Luo people in Riccardo Chailly at will in front of children, and even take them to participate in "Kriputi" activities, directly killing Luo people in Riccardo Chailly. The boy reached the age of 12 and was incorporated into the youth team. Their life is more difficult. They are not allowed to wear shoes. They only wear coats in winter and summer and sleep on straw. Straw weaving is that they don't use knives, but pull grass by hand and weave it themselves. Usually there is little food, but they are encouraged to steal food outside. If someone finds out, he will be hit hard when he comes back because he is not good at stealing. Legend has it that a teenager stole a fox and hid it on his chest. The fox bit his clothes. In order not to be discovered, he kept silent until he was bitten to death by a fox.

After reaching the age of 20, young men in Sparta officially became soldiers. Married at the age of 30, but still attend military training every day. Retired at the age of 60, but still in the reserve. Spartan girls stayed at home at the age of seven, but instead of weaving and doing housework all day, they engaged in physical exercise and learned to run, run, throw discus and fight. Spartans believe that only a strong mother can give birth to a strong warrior. Spartan women are brave and strong. They are not afraid to see their son injured or killed on the battlefield. When a Spartan mother sent her son to the battlefield, she did not wish him a safe return, but gave him a shield and said, "Take it or lie on it." It means that you can either come back with a shield and win with honor, or die with honor and be carried back with a shield.

Spartans despised culture and education. Teenagers only need to be able to write commands and notes. Spartans asked their children to be concise and straightforward, and formed the habit of silence from an early age. They talk like military orders. Once, a king threatened the king of Sparta to obey his orders, or he would raze Sparta to the ground. The king of Sparta replied, "Please!" This concise answer was later called Spartan answer. Similarly, Spartans despised literature, art and natural science. In the city of Sparta, there is hardly a magnificent building, and the Spartans have not produced a beautiful work of art to pass on to future generations. Spartans practiced "two kings". Two kings have unlimited power only when they are fighting. One king acts as commander in chief, and the other king stays at home. Usually all major issues are decided by the 30-member "Council of Elders". There are five consuls to assist the king in handling government affairs. All important matters concerning the polis are decided by the council of elders. However, in name, it must be approved by the General Assembly before it can take effect.

In the long-term foreign war, Sparta intensified its oppression and exploitation of the Luo people in Riccardo Chailly. The heroes held many uprisings. About 640 BC, Luo people in Riccardo Chailly launched an armed uprising for more than ten years. In 464 BC, Spartan heroes revolted again. Brave and tenacious, they reached the gate of Sparta and persisted in their struggle 10 years. Desperate Spartans released the rebels. The rule of Sparta was thus dealt a heavy blow. After the middle of the 4th century BC, Sparta gradually declined.
