It was the Spartan women who gave their sons a shield and told them, "come back with it, or on it." Can you imagine your kind of woman saying that to her precious little baby darling?
Stop getting your history from Heebywood, The Spartans were overrated
and no better then a typical South American Junta.

Sparta wasn't the idealized version of Plato, in reality Sparta was a thoroughly corrupt military dictatorship.

The Persians described the Spartans as the most easily corruptible of all Greeks and their loyalty was easy to buy. (Athenians were the most difficult to buy.)
