In ancient Greece, violent internal conflict between border neighbors and war with foreign invaders was a way of life, and Greeks were considered premier warriors. Sparta, specifically, had an army of the most feared warriors in the ancient world. What were they doing to produce such fierce soldiers? Craig Zimmer shares some of the lessons that might have been taught at Spartan school.

As my history teacher said, when in Ancient Greece, if you were a man, you wanted to be in Athens, but if a woman, you wanted to be in Sparta.

First of all, modern historians call Spartans like this because they were from Sparta. However did you know that they were called Lacedaemons (Λακεδαιμονείς) and not Spartans (Σπαρτιάτες)? Have you ever wondered what this big nice Λ on a Spartan shield is? It's the Λ from the word Λακεδαιμονείς! But Lacedaemons did call their biggest city Sparta.

As a greek, i need to say that i love TED-ED & approve this video I would also like to add one thing ; The mothers in Sparta were very "hard" with their sons. They expected of them either to win or die in battle. Actually, there is a quote "Either you come to me a victor with your shield or dead on your shield " ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς ^^

It makes no sense to say that all Spartans, men and women, were taught to read and write, but forbidden to leave records.
