Sparta

Spartans lived according to a strict moral code known as the "Spartan Code" or "Spartan Way of Life." This code emphasized discipline, endurance, and the welfare of the state above individual interests. The education and training system in Sparta was called the Agoge. Boys entered the Agoge at the age of seven and underwent rigorous military training to become fierce warriors.
Spartan women had more rights and freedoms than women in other Greek city-states. They received physical education and were expected to be strong and healthy to bear strong and healthy sons for Sparta. Sparta's economy relied on slave labor provided by a subjugated population known as the Helots. The Helots were subjected to harsh treatment and served the Spartan citizens.

Sparta had an oligarchic system of government, where power was concentrated in the hands of a small group of Spartan citizens known as the "Ephors" and "Gerousia". Sparta was the leader of the Peloponnesian League, a military alliance of Greek city-states in the Peloponnese region, established to counter the power of Athens and the Delian League.

Sparta played a significant role in the Greco-Persian Wars, most notably at the Battle of Thermopylae, where a small group of Spartan warriors led by King Leonidas held off a massive Persian army. Despite its military strength, Sparta's strict society and lack of emphasis on arts, culture, and commerce contributed to its decline over time.

Sparta's reputation as a fiercely disciplined and militaristic society has left a lasting impact on popular culture and historical discussions about ancient Greece.
