THE SPARTAN WARRIOR

From the time he could stand, he was baptized in the fire of combat. Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. Taught that death on the battlefield, in service to Sparta, was the greatest glory he could achieve in his life. Manufactured by 300 years of Spartan warrior society to create the finest soldiers the world has ever known. The Agoge, as it's called, forces the boy to fight. The boy taught to show no pain, no mercy. Constantly tested, tossed into the wild. Left to pit his wits and will against nature's fury. It was his initiation, his time in the wild, for he would return to his people a Spartan or not at all.

The AGOGE

The Spartan people of Ancient Greece had one of the most unique societal structures that history has ever seen. Although they were never an expansionist power, they were a warrior people who oriented their whole society towards the common goal of turing their male children into the finest warriors in all of Greece. To do that, they devised a period of extensive military training called the AGOGE. By the time Spartan boys finished the AGOGE, they were ready to take on just about any foe.

At seven, Spartan boys were taken from their families and placed in barracks of boys their own age under the leadership of an older boy. They received an education, but the AGOGE focused more on physical training including martial arts and endurance and strength training.

The AGOGE system was successful in producing the finest warriors in Ancient Greece. For hundreds of years, the Spartan army was never defeated when assembled in its full strength. Even when Sparta began its decline, the decline was not the result of military conquest.
