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.
