Sparta was an ancient city-state in Greece known for its strong focus on military training and discipline. Unlike many other Greek city-states, the people of Sparta trained hard to become warriors from a young age, following a strict program called the agoge. Spartan society was made up of different groups, including the full citizens known as Spartiates, free people called perioikoi, and the helots, who worked the land and were not free. Spartans were famous for their fierce army, which played a key role in battles like the famous stand at Thermopylae against the Persians.
