Spartan Warrior

Spartan Warriors worked hard all the time. That’s why they are so muscular and are able to walk and run around with armour covering them. They would have to have a lot of confidence to be a Spartan Warrior because if you didn’t have any confidence you would most likely die. Both boys and girls were brought up to the city women until around the age of seven. They were taken away from the parents and grouped together and had to attend a military boot camp.

In the final speech to the army of Spartans and Greeks in the movie 300, Dilios tells the men of the brave sacrifice of

A Spartan soldier was expected to serve Sparta until the age of sixty, but that was easier said than done. Spartan infants were inspected by an elder counsel called the Gerousia, ensuring physical ability and readiness to enter into Spartan societal training. The rigorous training period, called agoge, began at age seven for male children. Trainees were taught combat skills, survival skills, and stealth. Students were often pitted against each other, and failure or weakness were met with severe physical

and “The Profession,” “The Warrior Ethos” is the culmination of years of discussions Pressfield’s been having with Marines and others who were taken with the blend of courage-under-fire and humanity shown by Leonidas, Dienekes, Matthais, Gent, and the other characters in his books. “I wanted to give something back to our men and women fighting overseas,” Pressfield told Gazette, so I put together the best anecdotes and stories from all my research about the Spartans, Alexander's Macedonians, the

In the movie 300 and according to "8 Reasons It Wasn 't Easy Being Spartan.", the Spartan men served and protected the city of Sparta, while the Spartan women did domestic chores and were just to be there to breed more strong warriors. “Long-term effects also involve learning processes.
