Who Were The Spartans?

The Spartans lived in Ancient Greece. They were honest,they had lots courage and they loved freedom.

Boys who were seven years old were trained only for war. Life was very tough for them because they could not see there family for a long time. They also had to grow there hair long. When they grew up they became police men and after that they were soldiers.

The boys fought all the time and sometime it was for other city's to pay them. All the work was by the men and the woman who were captured by the solders. The men and the women were slave for the solders.

The women of Sparta were very tough. They ate and celebrated at the death of a son. Sadly they went as far as killing there own son,who was defeated in a battle,but,if there son won a battle they would have a huge feast and they would celebrate.
