1. ANCIENT CULTURE: Spartan Culture.


In the ancient world, many cultures have excelled, one of this cultures, which is i love to talk about, is the Greek Culture, more precisely, the Spartan Culture.
When you talk about Greece on the ancient world, you are talking about many greek cities states, fighting against each other for supremacy on greek territory. It was more convinient they fight each other than fight against a commun enemy. Every single greek city possessed its own form of government, its laws, etc. The Greek Cities that stood out was Corith, Athens and Sparta.
Sparta had on of the strongest cultures, only devoted to their Gods and, since childs, they learned how to fight and to kill an enemy for the glory and proud of their Gods and city.
Since childs, the spartans was trained to learn how to kill, how to act in combat, with a very hard training.They were whipped, they gathered their trainers, fought against lions and armed slaves. The result of this heavy training was perfect soldiers. Nothing less thant that. Only brave mans who would be ready to die when death seemed right to them and do not be afraid of their enemies. One example of greek-spartan bravery and martial skills, was Termophylae Battle on 197 BC, portrayed in the film "300" with the Spartan King Leonidas against the Persian army on campaign in Greek Lands.
