Sparta was a warrior society in ancient Greece that reached the height of its power after defeating rival city-state Athens in the Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.). Spartan culture was centered on loyalty to the state and military service.

This is to say that the spartans Love fighting. Any child born strong is been taken to the barrack to be trained as soldiers. But those born weak are thrown into the valley to die.
While strategy was a crucial element of Spartan military success, honor and nobility were also crucial aspects of their philosophy.

It will surprise precisely nobody that the 300 movies are not historically accurate portrayals of the Spartans, but the movies do lean on an existing myth. We all grew up thinking of the Spartans as the ultimate warriors.

Today Sparta maintains its good design, boasting large squares and wide streets lined with trees, while many of the older buildings remain in excellent condition. The city of Sparta is the economic, administrative and cultural center of Lakonia.
