Sparta: Introduction
Sparta was above all a military state of discipline and courage. Though
known for its rigid values and emphasis on physical strength, it was
also the most liberal state in regards to the rights and freedoms of its
women.
Sparta was known for its great army and
was a rival of Athens. Their army was
known for holding off the Persian army of
250,000 at Thermopylae for three days
with only 7000 soldiers. This gave the
people of Athens time to escape before
the Persians invaded there.
