Spartan Narrative

Ancient education was filled with a lot of harsh and rough training, but it was necessary. Spartan education was very tough for This is because they were an extremely militaristic community that focused on physical training rather than reading and writing. They were training them in such a way that would bring upon them unbearable pain and agony. The strengths of Spartan education far outweigh the weaknesses, this is because women were equal to men, Spartans were vigorously trained to be strong, and that everyone was taught to be respectful and obedient.

In this research paper I am going to talk about how the Spartan Military influenced our society. You are sure to expect to learn about how it affected how we live on an everyday basis. Also, on how it affected the way the U.S military runs/works. Sparta's military has caused many influences on our modern-day society. This includes on how our military works and fights to how we live every day. In the next paragraph I am going to give a little back ground on how Sparta's military training went.

Throughout ancient human history, men and women held vastly different roles. Women were often given the duty of bearing and raising children, whereas men were expected to fight, provide an income, and protect the household. Women were seen as totally inferior to men and described by Euripedes as “a curse to mankind” and “a plague worse than fire or any viper.” However, this misogynistic view of women and designated role of inferiority was not apparent in every ancient civilization. The role of the female in ancient Greek history can best be explored and contrasted between two important civilizations: The Spartans and the Athenians. The Spartan women were incredibly advanced for their time, and the Athenian women were drastically far behind. Both the Spartan and Athenian women held roles at home and lived lives far removed from the men of their societies. However, their lives were much different. While the Spartan women were strong and educated, the Athenian women held a status almost equal to slavery. The Spartan women were far more advanced than Athenians in aspects of life including education, athleticism, and independence.

The book The Spartacus War by Barry Strauss is an in depth look at one of Roman history’s most legendary events, the gladiator revolt led by Spartacus. Spartacus has become a legend, creating a storyline that has inspired many movies and television shows, such as Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus in 1960, starring the legendary Kirk Douglas. Spartacus has inspired a perfect mix of men over time with various backgrounds and beliefs, from Stalin and Marx, to Voltaire, and even to Ronald Reagan. How though, did Spartacus create a massive revolt of slaves that would create a massive problem for the mighty Rome? Strauss attempts to create a chronology of the Spartacus War using his vast knowledge of the Italian landscape, ancient documents, and

General Magnus had promoted Lt Layton to full Colonel and made him his new Executive Officer/ the other one had been killed by a sniper a week earlier. General Magnus knew it was those SF bastards because the round was a .50 Caliber and had to have been fired from an M107 possibly a mile or so away. It gave everyone pause, thinking now that every single senior officer was a target. What they didn’t know was that it was one of the 28th ID scout platoons that took the shot. Some of them had gone to

The nurse walked off leaving the two notes sitting on the table. Sergeant Taylor looked at the notes and watched her walk away, he stood there shaking his head, no wonder things were so fucked up he thought. Sergeant Taylor grabbed the notes and he and the other Marine headed back out the door. They exited the clinic, Sergeant Taylor not know what to do next, Corporal Moore asked what had happened, Sergeant Taylor told them the clinic’s CO wasn’t there and there was no one there that was going to help. Corporal Moore followed on, “You mean Commander Hall we passed him as we came in he was walking down the

Based on the legendary battle of Thermopylae, 300 shares the tale of 300 Spartan warriors who were driven by honor and duty to take a stand against 1 million Persians. Despite being defeated and having all odds faced against them, the Spartans put up quite the battle and damaged Persia’s self-confidence. The Spartans were able to get as far as they did within the battle because of their honor and duty towards one another and to Sparta itself. Looking at the film by Zack Snyder, a rendition of the comic series created by Frank Miller, it is obvious that honor and duty are depicted in more ways than one within the Spartan people.

Sparta occupies a peculiar position within the national consciousness of the United States. On one hand Americans, as the torchbearers of modern liberalism and democracy, are averse to Sparta as a cultural and political antithesis to their proposed cultural founders, the Athenians. As the trumpeters of free speech and the ability of every person to better themselves, how can it be possible that Americans would harken their cultural antecedents to a society that cast imperfect babies upon the side of mountains?

Marco was in the invasion of Iraq in 2003. He went to Bagdad to fight. Marco was sent to the North of Bagdad to a small village called al-Tarmiyah to do recon. Marco and his battalion ran into the enemy. The marines were ambushed so his squad got out and ran 200 yards of terrain under enemy fire. Marco’s squad leader got hit by a piece of shrapnel and could not go on. Marco was next in line to be the leader.

It was not just anyone who could participate in the decision making that would affect the community. In order to participate in the government in Athens you had to be a free male. Athens was a democracy and it had a legislative council (Boule). The Boule was made up of 500 councilors, with 50 men each selected from the ten tribes. The Boule would then create laws that they would present back to the popular assembly (all the free men in the ten tribes) who would vote for or against the new laws (Brand).

Sparta is the strongest Greek city-state because of their military , society , and education. The spartan produced what is probably the most iconic military in ancient history. The ancient Spartan warriors are known for their bravery , professionalism and skill, a reputation well deserved. The Spartan army was known far and wide for their fierceness , brutality, and efficiency in battle . This was partly due to their militarily-oriented society, but it was also due to a remarkable innovation in land warfare that made the Spartans nearly unstoppable on the ground.

After watching this episode, I am convinced that the only reason that these two got a deal was because of the already booming business in obstacle racing from their competitors. Not being truthful during a business pitch is a very rocky road to go down. Losing trust in an investor, like Barbara pointed out, is a feeling that you never want to have when you're trying to get their money. I'd be curious to see how long this company stays around. Though they do offer some different experiences at their races than competitors, I feel that they will always be playing catch up. Spartan Race has a huge brand that has already reached the global market, offering races around the globe, and has already capitalized on major partnerships with key companies.

“Are you from camp 109”!? “NO” I yell in a startled cry. I try to stand but fall into a chair almost lifeless. The two soldiers that accompanied the general pick me off the chair and make me stand to face the scar faced general. She asks me a question a I can not understand almost like gibberish. She asks again

Master Sergeant Olsen was taking attendance at the Base Camp Zan. He was in charge of a platoon of eighty Privates, fresh from the Recruit Camp. Soon, he had accounted for all his soldiers. Coming fresh from the mainland with no knowledge of the army, none of his soldiers could outdo him. Or so he thought…
