Sparta

SPARTA
Focused on: war and building up
strength to fight (army only)
Why strict laws: An early slave revolt
causes the Spartans to create
strict laws that demanded public
allegiance to the state.
 NO artistic culture; only war skills
Sparta part II
 olig (few or little in Greek)
 arche (rule)
 Rule by a few
 the city-state was controlled by a king or by
an oligarchy
 Citizens are not encouraged to speak freely,
the few who rule were usually powerful
military leaders.
 Not allowed to travel
 Outsiders not welcome
 Discouraged from studying philosophy,
literature, or arts.
 Studied Art of War
 Sparta was a military culture
• Went toward developing a strong army
• Children were taught at home until they were seven
At Seven, began their training
•
Both boys and girls (boys more so) trained in
combat, but had pride for their women
• At 13, they were dropped off in the woods in
groups with nothing…had to survive (without
theft)
•
“The women did not bathe the babies with water, but with wine,
making it a sort of test of their strength. For they say that
the epileptic and sickly ones lose control and go into
convulsions, but the healthy ones are rather toughened like
steel and strengthened in their physique. The nurses
displayed care and skill: they did not use swaddling-bands,
making the babies free in their limbs and bodies. They also
made them sensible and not fussy about their food, not
afraid of the dark or frightened of being left alone, not
inclined to unpleasant awkwardness or whining. So even
some foreigners acquired Spartan nurses for their children.”
on Spartans
"They learned reading and writing for basic needs, but all the rest of
their education was to make them well-disciplined and steadfast
in hardship and victorious in battle. For this reason, as boys grew
older, the Spartans intensified their training, cutting their hair
short and making them used to walking barefoot and wearing
minimal clothing. When the boys reached the age of twelve, they
no longer had tunics to wear, but got one cloak a year. Their
bodies were tough and unused to baths and lotions. They enjoyed
such luxury only a few special days a year. They slept, in packs, on
beds which they got together on their own, made from the tops
of the rushes (plants) to be found by the river Eurotas. These they
broke off with their bare hands, not using knives."
• Men married at the age of 20
• Had to live in barracks for ten years
• If they wanted to see their wives, they had to
escape
• At the age of 30, men could finally move home
and were full citizens
• Still ate every meal in the military dining hall
• Food was sparse and plain
Spartan mother to her son as he goes off to war:
“Return with your shield, or on it.”
 To help ensure the physical superiority of their
people, babies were bathed in wine shortly after
birth.
• If they survived, they were taken to elders.
• If the elders deemed the baby unfit, it was left exposed
to die on a hillside (other city-states practiced
exposure).
Military Service and Children
Women
• Learned reading/writing
• Girls given similar harsh
physical training as the boys

• Could overtake husband’s property

• Expected to defend it too and to put
down revolts.
