    The Spartans got wiped out and basically had no lasting cultural legacy apart from the story of Thermopylae.

    iirc they (THE PERSIANS) were against slavery, which is pretty forward for that age and region…

      Who was against slavery? Spartans? They had slaves, actually they had tonnes of slaves.

        They had so many slaves that they were constantly afraid of a slave revolt, so trained relentlessly to be able to put it down. Slaves are the reason Sparta is Sparta.

          see edited above, was referring to the Persians, not the spartans.

      Individual Spartans didn’t have slaves (like other nations, where individuals owned slaves). Instead, the Spartan military state owned all slaves called “Helots”. So yeah, the movie 300 is very far from reality.

      They sure had a lot of forced labor for a people who were “against slavery”.

    I dunno, bootstraps and endless homoeroticism are fine by me. Damn shame about the kids, but sacrifices must be made

      Meh, most of the homoeroticism was between adult men and teenage boys, not a great ideal

      The Sacred Band of Thebes, on the other hand 😳

        I can’t imagine the “adult” men lived that long in Sparta.
