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.

In the Medieval Ages, the safest and most powerful place for women to be in was the Mongol
Empire. In the Christendom or Islamic World, if a peasant women got raped, the women would
be hanged. In the Mongol Empire however, if the women got raped (regardless of class), the man
would be executed or face a much worse punishment. This was because women were seen as
more valuable than men in Mongol society as they were the ones who turned houses into
homes, gave birth to children, and took care of business at home while the man was off fighting
wars. While the man fought in wars, the women could have a lot of political and economic
power at home.
In fact it's often boasted by the Mongols that a beautiful girl could travel across the silk road with
a stack of gold unmolested. Nations who surrendered to the Mongol Empire could also receive
the same benefits. If you defied them and chose to fight and you lose, you'd still get the same
benefits after the Mongols show the horrifying consequences of defiance, that includings
destroying entire villages, burning people alive, and raping women who were seen as the enemy.
The best way to describe the Mongols is, surrender and prosper or defy and suffer and they
really lived up to it.

in goryeo (an ancient Korean civilization) women actually had a lot of rights. in fact, they could
divorce and get benefits where both parties compromised. they could also own land and get an
education. and in were given land, money etc written in their parents will. they could also own
their own business (for example trade, markets etc). in other words, it was absolutely possible
for women to be independent.

Weslie RossMal Fact is, in ancient Greece women were equal to men and even worshiped. Even
if you don't know of greek history, the greek gods of Olympus, in which they believed in back
then, were equaly separated and worshiped into 6 gods and 6 godesses with equal strengths and
flaws. Heck, even until now, I think it's pretty safe to say that sexism, as they call it, in Greece is
quite rare.

On a serious note, no matter what we say, we're not experts. We haven't read enough articles
on EVERY SINGLE ancient civilization to judge the bias of the author and pick out accurate
information. That said, Sparta was where women were better off in ancient civilizations
(although not sure about BEST), and probably one of the best in ancient Greece.

I agree with on you on that. Along with the women of the Viking and Egyptian societies, they
enjoyed all the rights that most women are still deprived of to this day; they were able to own
property, marry and divorce at their own will, have access to education and financial freedom.
While there is no denying that Sparta had its flaws, the society was quite advanced for its time.

Depends really.
The roles of men and women were very different than today.
And this had to do with the difference in survival.
Half of children died before reaching adulthood

And women could die of childbirth.
So their lives were often restricted to keep them safe.
Tribes in hunter gatherer were actually stricter. Often not allowing women to leave the
designated areas. Usually for fear of wild animals and other tribesmen that might kidnap them.

Elene aka Helen was a legend taking place during the mycenian and minoan civilization's times.
Basically she got kidnapped by the leader of Troy and taken back only for her husband to find out
she was in Egypt and what he took is an interpretation. All of this is based on the greco-troic war
and alot of ancient writers have wrote books about this.

You realize this stuff is pure legend, right? You also realize that whatever the Spartans did, it
didn't work for them. They're a footnote in history.
So people like you and the OP are romanticizing and believing in a body of fiction and comparing
reality to it?
Is that rational?

+Anndrei02 A fighting man is not a man devoid of thought; at the worst he is a concentrated
man.
Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, Saladin, William Lind, King David, Julius Caesar, Lawrence of Arabia,
Emperor Marcus Aurelius- these are but a few incredibly influential, educated, and famous
soldiers/lieutenants/generals I care to list off the top of my head, and there are many many
more.
The world isn't the one that has evolved, its warfare that has evolved. Back then decades of
strict discipline and training were needed to create a professional soldier because your survival
on the battlefield was (almost) entirely based on your martial prowess. Nowadays you can train a
soldier in a few years because expertise isn't as valuable as it once was- guns changed
everything. Tactics and training still have their place in armies today (obviously), but these
qualities are much less impactul now compared to the ancient world.
And who are you to decide what is a good enough purpose to warrant death? There are those
who find no greater honor and cannot imagine a more noble cause than dying to defend their
family, their friends, their God, or their country. You have no right and no grounds to assert that
a dead soldier's purpose wasn't noble enough if they died for what they believed in.
Words are powerless unless you give them power. Words are empty and meaningless until you
decide otherwise. Someone who claims to have a higher mental capacity should be well aware
of this simple truth. Just as iron is unbroken by a breeze, humans aren't torn asunder by words. If
words had inherent strength embodied within them, then anybody could convince everybody-
through inherent word force alone- to do anything just by choosing the right, specific words.
Far more often have muscles raised and fell empires and shaped the course of history than
words.

You are right aswell with the words and power thing.
But the thing is that in the future we will need no more fighting and power to impose
ourselves,especially if we will have robots.You can be educated,incredibly influental and famous
but still have a shitty personality that wants to kill others or to die by imposing his belief or
something else on others.
Those who find no greater honor and cannot imagine a more noble cause than dying should go
and fight and see what s going on because they might lose over time their precious talent.
If the world didn t fucking change we wouldn t be 7 billion people already wt are you talking
about.
Look in Middle Ages how they were rascist and fighting over everything like ignorant and
bloodthirsty brutes.You see them as magnificent,you read their history,because they were the
victors and had written it.I see them in this aspect of warfare nothing but mere barbarians.In
other parts of their life were better some of them.
They saw and see nobility,I see shame and nothingness,you could do much more than fighting
with ignorant fools and betting with your life.Think of how many have died for really nothing.
The world will exist with or without them.So why not live with the world?I know that fighting
and power are the ultimate source of power,but the creativity ,intelligence along with pacifism is
the key to evolving.
There were some great men out there but they did it well mostly in warfare,even there were
exeptions(there always are I sayonly about majority).
The ultimate price should be paid for protecting truth and the rest of humanity,but only as a last
resort.
Those who are fighting for religious purposes don t have something better to do with their
life.Those who are fighting against discrimination,other possible wars,terrorism,etc those are the
real heroes.
And we were at the goddamn discussion about Sparta.

They weren t that educated.
They killed their slaves once or twice per year for no reasons.
What they achieved?
Some hype because of a movie,but they will be remembered only because of their sheer
strenght and perseverance,not because of their easy lifestile.Well in that era if you weren t
fighting you d become a slave so...yeah it is pretty difficult to put our standards back in their
times.
Who am I?A random dude on the Internet that is in a democratic country,fortunately.
Please read all I have some good points.

Macedonia as an ancient kingdom was Greek in a whole (side note: the extend of the kingdom
Alexander inherited from Philip II, his father, is almost all in modern Greece) and you cannot do
anything about that, Vardarskan-Slavs haven't any Macedonian ancenstry because you came in
the Balkans in the Medieval times (please don't hate Greeks for that).
The region Macedonia had diffrerent borders in each different ruling era, the region that is
known today as such is the one in the Ottoman era, for example in the times of Eastern Roman
Empire, the thema of Macedonia was between modern-day Bulgaria's south part and the Greek
Thrace region with Adrionople (known today as Edirne - Turkey) as its capital.

+Fragkoyiannis Savvas Ots Its funny how every greek seems to have their own hypothesis on why
Macedonia isin't a nationality. ive been told they are just bulgarians, Serbians and ive even heard
greeks say Macedonians are long lost greeks ( they just happen to have an entire different
language...)
Macedonian people know who they are, no other county accepts the Macedonian people as
their own. Thats because Macedonia is an ancient civilisation just as the Greeks were. There
were many Macedonian kings before Alexander the Great. And around 400 bc when greece was
weak due to civil conflict and previous wars against the Persians.
King Phillip iii of Macedonia was able to ocupie Greece. they were non destructive rulers. they
embraced the cultures they conquered to improve their own. king Phillip respected the Greeks
so much He himself, a Macedonian king had Alexander with his greek wife. thats another
argument i dont understands... Everyone knows who alexanders father was, and everyone knows
his mother was greek. so why cant we all accept the was half greek half Macedonian???
basically there's history everywhere proving Macedonias existance as its own unique culture.
they are even mentioned in the bible...
So enough with the denial of Macedonians nationality. if the was saying your nit greek your
actually decendent from Italians and Greece is just an ancient state of italy, you wouldn't like or
accept that? because you know who you and your people are. The world can say whatever they
want but you will always know who you are. The same goes for Macedonians, they know who
they are. so be respectul of other people's cultures. �

@KAVINSKY311 I didn't call you Serbs nor Bulgars because I know that you don't like to called as
such but you're a Slavic tribe. In ancient times, neither Greece was a country, nor Greeks were
from only one tribe. Ancient Macedonians were a Greek tribe, as Aeolians, Dorians, Ionians,
Acheans, and more. Olympias was from another Greek kingdom, Epirus.
Because of the Macedonian kingdom Greek unified as a single language known as Koine Greek
dialect and was spoken from Magna Graeca and the Balkans to Indus river and because of that
later the original New testimony was written in Greek, if Philip wasn't Greek why he had Greek
name (Φίλιππος- the one who loves horses) much like his predecessors and why Alexander
spread the Greek civilization across the globe and not any other civilization? Also why Alexander
wrote the sign «Αλέξανδρος Φιλίππου και οι Έλληνες πλην Λακεδαιμονίων από των βαρβάρων
των την Ασίαν κατοικούντων» (Alexander of Philip and the Greek exept Lacedaemonians from
the inhabited by barbars Asia)? The Spartans didn't wanted to be commanded by any other than
themselves so Alexander wrote this down so everyone would know that the Spartan were the
only Greeks that didn't helped the cause. Βάρβαρος (barbar) in ancient Greek had the meaning
of "non-Greek", if Macedonians weren't Greeks would he have used this terminology?

keep in mind that sparta and athens are like greece vs persia, europe vs muslims, they were the
two poles of completely different world views. athenians won (even after losing the war lol) and

+Stavros Vasileiadis Just because we haven't found a pile of bones it doesn't prove that the
Spartans didn't carry out children who seemed weak. It was quiet common during the middle
ages for an example to carry out baby's who seemed unhealthy or when their family's were too
poor to feed them. The saga's mention that the vikings would often carry out girls since having
boy's was far more desirable. This was not Uncommon as far as our documents go. yet finding
the bones of baby's isn't all that common. Mostly due to them being much smaller and more
importantly far less resilient than the bones of a grown adult. and are therefor more likely to
disappear with time.
The Spartans surely took things to the extreme if they did in fact due what sources claim they did
but it's not all that unlikely that they didn't.

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.

Indeed, all Greek tribes had myths for their origin, or the names of their cities, etc. Hellen, for
example was the mythological progenitor of the Hellenes (Greeks), who had three sons: Dorus
(hence the tribe Dorians), Aeolus (hence Aeolians) and Xuthus. Xuthus had two sons, Ion (hence
Ionians) and Achaeus (hence Achaeans).
Υ.Γ. Γεια χαρά! Απ' ό,τι ξέρω, Λακεδαίμονα ή Λακωνία (Λακωνία είναι νεότερη λέξη, μάλλον
υποκοριστικό της πρώτης) λεγόταν η περιοχή όπου κατοικούσαν οι Λακεδαιμόνιοι, ενώ Σπάρτα
ήταν το όνομα της Σπάρτης στην δωρική διάλεκτο. Οι Αθηναίοι δεν είχαν το προελληνικό μακρό

Ronald Hubbard
Ronald Hubbard
@Jim Fortune Like all the other parts of the body, the Human Brain works best when used often
and is therefore strengthened by "exercise" if you will.
The Brain works by forming connections and using those connections to enhance pattern
recognition and therefore become more capable of adapting to similar situations. (That's what
intelligence is)
If a historian depicts the tactics a general expertly used in combat in a specific situation, a
Spartan soldier can read this and learn that should that situation arise, that option is available to
him.
This is why Napoleon once said "Read over and over again the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal,
Caesar, Gustavus, Turenne, and Frederic the Great. This is the only way to become a great
general."
How does this apply to the common soldier?

I'll tell you: A Spartan reads how a smaller more agile warrior defeated a massive foe by using
pin-point strikes and attacking critical parts of the body.
The Spartan soldier will read this text, and see how it is totally possible for a 'weaker" warrior to
defeat a "stronger" one through his knowledge of the human body.
Also, be aware that knowing how to read and write is not one and the same and does not always
come together. I was raised speaking Polish at home but am a fluent English speaker as well. I did
not however learn to write in Polish, so that technically means I am not "fluent" in Polish. But, I
am capable of reading many words in Polish by sounding it out and then using my verbal
knowledge of the language to realize what it is I am reading, however I am utterly clueless and
words/letter do not come to mind when I make any attempt to write.

@Ronald Hubbard I envy you your ability to speak and understand Polish. I'm living in Poland

That aside; I would think the best source of tactical advice would be your fellow warriors who
use the same equipment as you, fight in the same terrain as you and function within the same
type of organization. If your fellows and precedents are not allowed to record their thoughts and
experiences you lose a very valuable resource. I don't know near enough about the history of

And also when the supply of Spartans started to get short. There was no way to become a first
class citizen, but lots of ways to stop being a full citizen - including getting stabbed to death in a
war, but also not being able to pay your mess bill. So it's a strong but fragile system, and can't
really expand. Eventually someone else was going to amass more power just by being able to
expand their polity and it would all be over for Sparta as it's always one disaster away from a
vicious spiral, so tactically strong, incredibly so, but strategically accepting flaws to get that
tactical strength and with difficulty in changing their strategic balance. Unless they modernised
from Lycurgus.

I pity you and your unsustainable arguments.
All I can say is that I cannot wait for the Academics to really delve into the issue with REAL
scientific arguments and clarify this subject once and for all. If you had the balls you would set
up a Scientific debate about whether Macedonia is Greek or Slavic and see where it will end.
There are Academics from top universities that have stated OVER AND OVER that Macedonians
were Greeks and that Macedonia was just another city-state.
And do not try to claim that Greeks are brainwashed and not the Fyromians.
FYROM wanted an identity after it was founded, did not have any significant ID and just tried to
exploit the its geographical position, thats all. But what can I say now, even the Turks claim that
Homer and Hippocrates were Turks.
If you want this issue to be solved tell your government to set up a scientific debate with actual
proofs and not mumbo-jumbo claims. But you wouldnt dare i guess...
I now claim that Germany was once Greece. I said it therefore I AM RIGHT! ! ! The proof is that
there are MANY Greeks in Germany who speak Greek! Therefore Germany was Greek state and
Germans are brainwashed! I pity the people stuck in Germany now as they watch their country
crumble by "Germans" and immigrants!

@KAVINSKY311
Since you make some serious claims, get me a link of your papers and a link to the paper that
has the proofs.
From what you say do do not sound like a historian at all. Let me remind you that the
Macedonian issue came up after the revolution of Greeks against the ottoman empire. It was
during the turkish occupation that Macedonia was distorted and populations were mixed with
slavic tribes of the north, tribes that were always causing problem to the Byzantium as well. At
that time there was no greek to bother with these things and Turks didnt care at all. You logic
suggests that the Pontum was also never Greek and every other land that has been distorted
due to wars and immigration paves the way in claims like yours.
I would also like to see a legitimate argument regarding "poluted Arab/Hellenic Greeks".
So in 100 years from now, smart guys like you will claim that Germans are not Germans but
"Syrian/Germanic polluted Germans". And you dare to call yourself Historian... If you are a
Historian at Cambridge I am the Pope of Rome...

Because they invaded countries, exploited the population, caused destruction, and believed they
were superior? Well then you're basically describing every culture at one point or another.

+Ruya007 Spartans were expected to serve the state above and beyond anything else, and if
needed to sacrifice their life for it. These were different times, war was a very common thing in
ancient Greece, and it may be argued that being so trained and prepared for war increased your
chance of living to a ripe old age. Having a population dedicated to the protection of your city
would also decrease the likelihood of your city being conquered and destroyed, which would be
detrimental to your wellbeing.
Also, when not going to war, Spartans were wealthy, and well tended to, mostly because nearly
60% of their population were Helots - slaves, most of which were captured during wars - which
did all the manual labor. When not at war, adult spartans got to spend their time doing whatever
they wanted, as long as they maintained themselves in peek physical condition. All in all, not a
terrible deal considering the state of the ancient world.

@Pierre-Yves Poli Weren't the Helots more around 90% of the population? Isn't that why they
had an entire festival where for a week the Spartan boys would kill ANY Helot they found? And
this festival being a yearly one was uncommonly held twice a year sometimes.
But you are right, not only did the Spartans get all the food they want with no effort put into
farming by themselves. But they could also learn all they wanted, they were even encouraged to.
They were the most devout, travelling, and well educated Greeks. Compared to Athenian
lifestyle their women and children had better rights and their people were better overall in
everything pretty much.
The only drawback sadly was they were thought to not have long conversations/arguments,
write unnecessarily, etc. This resulted in them being stereotyped and not a lot of their works
being made or well published.
However, when they did have an argument they were known for ending it with a sentence and
winning.

I'm not certain of the numbers, but my understanding was that the population of Sparta was
spread as follows: 10,000 Spartan citizens, 60,000 Periokoi (free, but not citizzens), 100,000
Helots.
And yes, you're right, Spartans were generally encouraged to be highly educated, smart and
witty on top of their combat prowess, which gave us some great one liners ("Then we will fight in
the shade", "Come and get them", "If.")

@Pierre-Yves Poli My favourite one is when a group of Epirusians came to Sparta asking for food
because they were having a drought and gave a two hour argument as to why the Spartans
should help. The Spartans replied "You talked so long we forgot the beginning when you got to
the end, we must decline."
The Epurisians came the day after held up a flour bag and said "The bag needs food" to which
the Spartans replied "You don't have to say "the bag" we can see that"
A simple sort the Spartans were. Do you know when and how they changed? I only know about
their age of dominance. Don't know how they fell.
Also, fun fact. They were restricted from participating in olympic games for a really long time
because they were more fit, but especially contact games such as wrestling because they were
so geared towards fighting to the death that they would either kill or mutilate their opponents
by breaking their bones or something. Their favourite techniques were to first break their
opponents finger joints in wrestling for example.

in a similar state of the USSR in 1988-1990. You don't suspect it, but it will happen.
Look at the USA for example, how long do you think they will last? The disunity for one thing is
through the roof. I don't know if it's going to be next year or next decade but either a civil war is
going to start or the nation is going to break up into pieces.

people simply don't care about unity and prosperity of the nation (UK, Spain, Bulgaria, USA, etc)
they are slowly yet surely falling apart.
While Fascism is "Unity and prosperity of the nation at all costs" you can still have a sense of
national unity without fascism. Such as France or UK during WW1 and WW2.
I'll ask you this. If your country was to go to war. Would the people be more united as the UK
happened to be during the Falkland islands war, or would they be more divided such as the USA
was during the Vietnam war?

The idea of slavery we have right now is the doing of the British, French, and Americans against
the Africans south of the Sahara.
However for the most part slavery consisted of one man capturing another in war and then
making them do work and once they did enough work they would be let go and while they
would be working they would be given good housing, good food and even education.

Better than what they have currently which is sitting around for years with no end in sight locked

Slavery in a lot of ways is really not that bad. The Romans saw it as a first step in introducing a
bloodline to the fundamentals of Rome. And the same could be said to introduce a person into
life so as to say. Give them a job, let them build their own home, teach them a skill, etc.

@roidroid Again, in prison what they do is break some rocks, build some plates, etc.
What I said was 'Give them an resources, let him build his home, let him learn how to build a
house. Give the man a few options, carpenter, electrician, mechanic, etc and let him learn a
profession. Let him work for the government to serve his time that is let him work his
punishment off rather than waste away his years. This also means that his punishment would be
more around the lines of "serve two hundred thousand cars" rather than "work here for two
hundred thousand days" so a faster worker can stop working for the government sooner.
And after this man has served his labour time, he already has a regular life, a house, a work. All
he has to do is get married and boom, regular life.
In the USA for example where the prison system is absolute horrendous all people do is get
treated like shit by the guards and other prisoners for the most part, and they are just kept in a
cage with criminals. Honestly put a person in that scenario and force him to give up decades of
his life and when he steps outside what do you expect from him? To go to university at age 30-40
with no money to his name? No. You expect that man to contact one of the people he met in
prison and even get more involved in crime if anything.
And even in nations such as Norway where prison systems are the best in the world. Yes the
prisoners can get any education they request, yes they can do almost anything they want, and
yes pretty much the only restriction is "you cannot interact with civilians" and that is their
punishment. But this is a false move.
Instead they should be pushed to interact with regular people. To join in the community. Instead
of saying "Would you want to learn something" like I said they should be taught something so
they could become a productive part of the nation.

"All told, nearly a million prisoners are now making office furniture, working in call centers,
fabricating body armor, taking hotel reservations, working in slaughterhouses, or manufacturing
textiles, shoes, and clothing, while getting paid somewhere between 93 cents and $4.73 per

No. Spartans were not required to stay in the polis. They were only required to be loyal in
exchange for land and benefits, but overall we know of many Spartans leaving the polis, fighting
for other armies or even working on different things. Also they contributed greatly to philosophy,
Socrates was inspired in their intrapersonal philosophy and even complimented them. Know
your shit before posting, because ignorance is sometimes not a bliss: its just dumb.

+Ruya007 I think you'll find that the life of a slave in sparta was probably a lot less barbaric than
many other alternatives out there at the time. You gotta remember this is before the Roman
Empire-Which was also very civilized for the time despite their slavery practice. Actually
compare Ancient Greece and Rome to many countries during the Dark Ages and you'll see how
Sparta wasn't that bad a place to live at all.

@mlazos You have a point. But athenians werent really the angels of ancient greece. See the

scared that athens had too much power on their hands (imagine that SPARTANS being afraid of
athens). Some cities teamed with athens and others were forced to. Long story short athens lost
the war. Spartas allies wanted to enter athens and burn it to the ground. Instead sparta signed
peace with athens if they agreed to send their ships, take down their walls and have common
enemies. Sparta werent the uncivilized brutes most people think they were. Simply sparta was
based on honor (just like said in the video) and athens on development. Also philosophy and

+TheusZeusDeus This is kind of true but not entirely the case. The reason why Helots were killed
annually was because the Spartans were outnumbered 20:1 (around that different sources say
different things!). Originally helots were considered and able to live normal lives but aid the
Spartans- however there was an uprising which the Spartans struggled with due to their
numbers. They tightened reforms and made the Krypteia (secret police), where a select number
of TEENAGES/ERENS (14-19yrs) would kill Helots not obeying this rule. Another tactic for the
killing of helots was this annual event where the helots were tricked into going into an arena in
order to 'be the best and show their worth' (for this would allow them to become an inferior -
more rights), but in fact they were killed. It is NOT true that they were feared by Spartan equals
(or Homoioi), perhaps are you confused with the 300?

+TheusZeusDeus Very detailed response! - thank you for taking the time to respond. My answer
to what you are saying is the simple one that nothing in history we can say for absolute certainty
(except maybe the last 3-5 centuries). I have only studied Sparta for a short amount of time but
those are the facts that I have learned - OBVIOUSLY none of this is techincially true. Obviously it
sounds extremely far-fetched but if yo uthink about it many things in history are full of biasness
etc. (Bayeux Tapestry is a great example). One may say that the Bayeux Tapestry is obviously bias
(yes it is), but obviously Sparta is also in terms of the Athenians against the Spartans. However in
terms of explaining the question one can easily say what I said as these are the facts that the
Athenians wrote. Unlike in the case of modern-day history, evreythign we know about Sparta is
through writers like Herodotus - thus how can we tell fallacy from truth? The answer is we can't
so we have to rely on what the Athenians said. Also whilst the ages can be taken with a grain of
salt, the actual specifics of life-expectancy and skill of the erens is also under question. I don't
know what else you know about Spartan education, but what was not mentioned here was the
period between 12-18 when they spend their time in the wild, aswell as the whole 'Cheese
fetching temple scene'. The fact is no-one would be accepted into the Krypteia if they did not
pass this, and considering the helots did nothing but embarrass themselves (to teach Spartan
kids lessons) etc., the age thing is quite possible.However as I said before everything has to be
take nwith a grain of salt, however considering we have NO other accounts of this we cannot
distinguish primary from secondary in terms of sources. Therefore one cannot claim what you
said. Call bullshit all you want but people called bullshit on the Higgs Boson..and this was proven
to be real!

Remember your grain of salt; this information was kept to remember what made Sparta so
fearsome, but it doesn't account for what actually happened there.
They probably sent men who couldn't pass the tests to work in the fields, that's my guess, but no
one really knows.
Here's some Greek logic for you; Man is imperfect, History is written by Man, so History is
imperfect.
If you want to see how much we really don't know; try writing down all the events you
experienced yesterday, and see how many details you can't recall. Then try picturing being
someone writing about events months after they happened. Once you put writing history into

Do you know something about crypteia? Oh, this is a good tradition of Sparta. This little teen
spartans were allowed to kill every slave, which in Sparta called helots, if they see him on a road.
What a lovely tradition.

+Chuj Chujek That's not completely true. Crypteia was something like an exam: the young
spartan had to kill the strongest of the heliots he could find before the new day after a week left
nude in the mountains.
Little problem for the young spartan: he could not use any kind of weapon

"The magistrates from time to time sent out into the country at large the most discreet of the
young warriors, equipped only with daggers and such supplies as were necessary. In the day
time they scattered into obscure and out of the way places, where they hid themselves and lay
quiet; but in the night they came down into the highways and killed every Helot whom they
caught."
-"Life of Lycurgus", Plutarch.

+Chuj Chujek The exact role of the crypteia in sparta is still debatable but there are 2
explanations for them
1)The population of the helots(slaves) in sparta was 7 times larger than that of the ''normal
citizens'',let's say.Thus,the fear of a helot revolution was always on the minds of the spartan
leaders.Members of the crypteia,were used as means to reduce their numbers and show them
who's the boss,so to speak.They were told to try and kill the strongest of helots,but they were
advised to use stealth tacitcs instead of a frontal assault because they could easily get
outnumbered.Also,the helots weren't warriors but i bet they were not pushovers either,since
they were working hard on the farms.After killing the helot,the spartan would proceed and take
any supplies he needed.However,should the helot suceed in killing the spartan,he was granted
freedom and full citizen rights.
2)Another explanation is that,the most promising of spartan youths were offered a chance to
undergo special training at the crypteia.It's not stated if they were participating in battles,but
they were used as scout units in order to uncover info about the enemy's numbers,the
terrain,possible weak spots in the enemy lines etc.,since they were so proficient in
stealth.There's a source stating that,only spartans who had completed the crypteia training could
achieve higher ranks in the army,although i don't know how true that is.
Those are the 2 most common explanations,whether one or both of them are true,is still up
for debate.I would say they're both true,since spartans were secretive about their military
strategies.

They got defeated by Theben, which used more modern tactics. They never recovered from this
defeat and were constantly crippled by revolts of subjugated people. Alexander the Great
refused to attack the City of Sparta directly and after a bloody battle Sparta joined the league of
Corinth.
After some more time they were defeated by the Aegean League which united most of the
Peloponnese and thus outnumbered Sparta by far.

pillar of social life and education.
Two main sources are Xenophon and Plato who are mentioned even at Wikipedia:

Gay couples even formed an ancient elite-troop:

Dude there is a lot of Myths about homosexuality in the ancient world, it was not the same as
you are thinking. Also it was not that common as you think it was.
First of they did not know the concept of homosexuality as we do today or the past 1700 years
of history. Homosexuality was not a thing to do but in the same time there what was called
Masculine & feminism men. Most men were Masculine and most would be considered straight
for our standers as well as a nice number bisexual if they are a Masculine man that f****s a
feminism men but that was not that common as one may think. A 100% gay man that took it
was known as a Feminism man in the past and they were looked down on in almost all ancient
societies.
In fact look it all up, I will even find a sources and such about it all later on. It is one of those
myths like a sword was 25 lbs sort of thing for the middle ages.

I honestly find it so funny how the BIG STRONG MANLY MEN OF SPARTA were socially more or

values, treated women as deformed men. Sparta was a shitty place to live for men, but it was
quite possibly the best place in the world to be a woman at that time.

As well as being often homophobic, this whole chain is making the mistake of painting historical
peoples in as just modern people in funny clothes. The idea that one must have one defined
sexuality throughout life is not universal. It was accepted in Classical Greek society that men
would have affairs with men, at least in their youth. We know that Spartan women were
unusually free because the other states tell us. There's lots of writing that could be city-state on
city-state negative propaganda, but women were generally not free in either any of the states as
we'd define it: unable to own property or make contracts certainly, but quite possibly unable to
meet unrelated males until married, nor even at times to have their names mentioned in public!
In Spartan society it was (probably) standard that men were simply not allowed to marry until
they were in their 30's, and lived their life very separately from women (who were expected to
marry as virgins, tales are told of brides getting male-style haircuts so that new husbands would
be less freaked out), so think of society having an imagined wall where the civil society has the
older, established people in the centre along, firmly, with most of the women, almost all of the
time. The young men are on the outside making their place in the world. In that situation it
seems likely that there would be a lot of boys having their first sexual awakenings around only
other boys, and that'll leave with three choices, get at least a little queer, get none, or get it one
with the lower classes (slaves and most, but not all, prostitutes) but you'll have to pretend you
aren't doing that.
This is supported by a lot of writing suggesting that the Spartans (and lots of others) thought it
was a good idea to have gay soldiers as you are a lot less likely to run away if it means
abandoning a loved one. Remember that hoplite against hoplite warfare was as at least as much
about morale courage and your side's nerve outlasting your opponents as it was effective
leadership and manoeuvre.
Further it was very common for young people, both male and female to have an older mentor
and entirely expected that some kind of physical relationship would occur.
TL;DR -
So yeah, by our standard they were at least Gay Until Graduation, but really you're not using the
right words, unless you are doing it in Classical Greek, and even then we might not get the
shades between eros and philia and the other words that we cover with one shade of 'love'.

that is a huge myth. Babies were not thrown from a mountain, they were simply given to heliots

Now for the whipping part, in the book from steven pressfield "gates of fire " there is quote
from him saying that during the agoge there was a boy that was whipped for like 50 times while
being asked if they wanted to stop punishing him, but he did not answer. Eventually the boy fell
down unconcious and died later from the wounds. Now this may be a fictional book, but it is

Jeremy corbyn (who is a socialist pacifist) a 'Trotskyist' because he believes in the renationalising

Muslim Judges, the king was basically just a general. They both indoctrinate their children with
extreme religious views(worshipping the god of war in Sparta and following the teachings of
prophet Muhammed in ISIS). Both also made the children do rigorous and intense training
where stealing and even killing may be okay. The only difference I can think of is that they have

Enormous blind spots in this video. What about the helots who made this militaristic utopia
survive? What about the culture of predation upon younger Spartans? Also, young men weren't
starved and encouraged to steal during their entire upbringing - that was only during a period of
testing for manhood. But I think the problem of not mentioning the helots is the worst. Were
they not Spartans as well of a sort? Were the slaves before the American Civil War not also
Americans? For TED-Ed of all outlets to perpetuate top-down history is truly disappointing.

I wish they'd also have mentioned Sparta's military defeats. Their training didn't make them
immune to losing battles. Leuctra is a prime example, and the Athenian navy was able to inflict
several naval defeats on them as well. Also, 1,000 Athenians, who also happened to be
outnumbered, managed to defeat an enemy force that was supported by a Spartan garrison.
Sparta was far from invincible, and it'd be nice if media entertainment would actually give
people the whole picture instead of giving people this annoying misconception that Spartans are

Who said Spartans were invincible? They are mostly know of the battle in Thermopylae, and
they lost that battle, if i can recall correctly. The point is that, since they were so focused on
military training, they had a powerful army - a worthy ally and a skilled war machine in all
situations. As far as helots are concerned, they were by no means Spartans, they were the
inhabitants of the land before, and war prisoners from battles Spartans had fought. Of course,
the whole economy was based on those slaves, and it should be mentioned, but the way you put
it, is like saying that Russia has a cold climate. Slavery was a common thing of those times. And
abouta the naval defeats, Sparta never had a worth-mentioning navy, like the Athenians, they
would mostly rely on their allies by the sea.

No, the Helots were not legally considered to be Spartans because they were not citizens of
Sparta. They lived in Sparta but had no legal rights to speak of. African Slaves in America lived in
America but were considered "property" and therefore, could not legally be American citizens.
Both GREEK HELOTS and ENSLAVED AFRICAN PEOPLE IN AMERICA(before the Civil War) were
considered to be barely human, let alone, citizens.
John Constantine

Gary L depends. Helots were slaves but they were property of the state, not by individual
owners. There were many cases of helots being granted freedom by the government or by
themselves (they were unique than most slaves in Greece since they can buy their own freedom
and become plebians). And yes, slaves did exist not just in sparta but also in Athens and many
greek city states.

Sounds unnervingly similar to North Korea of today, with its total allegiance to the state, and it's
worshipping of the states leadership, along with an intense desire among men to die for the
state.
I think of a country like Sparta existed today, it would be worse than any Nazi Germany/North
Korean mix. It truly is the best brainwashing of population heists I've ever seen, and that
included the worst we modern humans manage to conjure up from the souls of our most
despicable of men

First of all both boys and girls had equal mandatory education.
Second, boys were trained for war because they had to protect their borders and homes and
drive back enemies somehow (aka modern day soldiers) and women were not just for childbirth.
Unlike most women around thhe world at that time, Spartan women were well educated and
were able to legally own and inherit land and property. They were in charge of the household
when their husbands were at war and were free to travel wherever they wanted to. They were
also allowed to legally divorce their husbands if they were mistreated, without fear of losing
their property and they were not expected to remarry if they didn't wish to.
At least do some research before you decide to mindlessly comment your thoughts.

The sparse diet for the children was meant to" toughen them up" and to learn self discipline
until they became adults. The women needed adequate diets to birth and raise their young. The
men could not become successful Spartan warriors without an adequate diet, because THIS IS
SPARTA!. (self discipline-something sorely lacking today, in my opinion). In SPARTA, it was survival
of the fittest-on steroids. (not real steroids!)

I have to comment it - throwing babies from the Mount of Taygetus is proved to be nothing more
then myth, because archaeological examinations prooved that there were no baby skeletons
under the mountain, but only skeletons of grown-up people. They did drop people from the
mountain, but the victims were slaves, enemies of Sparta or current regime, but not a single
evidence was found about droping babies from out there. :)

First for the people saying that it's illogical that they knew how to read and write but they
weren't allowed to keep records. Did it ever occur to you that people travelled around? Like
philosophers from Athens or anywhere else went to Sparta, and Spartans travelled as well.
Greeks were one if not the most advanced civilization at that time, of course someone kept
records.
Also NO Sparta was nothing like the Nazis or North Korea! Have you ever read history?!

Spartans were assigned an Erotes(an older man) when they join the agoge. The younger student
was called Eromenos which means the beloved. They were encouraged to have a homoerotic
relationship. This was done to create a bond within the army so that they'll fight well to defend
what they love. Sparta was a martial society to the utmost.

I'm going to explain, a long time ago, like 2500 years ago Greece had city states (countrys that
only have one city) and they were very developed compared to other places, one of them was
Sparta, it was very famous due to his strong warriors and it's sacrefice in the battle of
Thermopylae where around 7000-20000 strong spartan and other greek states men leaded by
King Leonidas (King of Sparta) faced a gigantic horde of 300000 Persians, the Persians won, but
thanks to Sparta they stoped the Persians from bringing destruction and enslaving the Greek
States because Persia suffered heavy losses
This is 100% true

Another thing that many people forget about Sparta is that they had many, many slaves.
The men and women described in this video were actually those of the upper class. The lower
classes weren't raised this way and it was socially acceptable for rich Spartans to beat the poor
and the slaves at any time that they felt like.

You forget the reason they needed and developped such an army. Basically Sparta was a slave
master state. For each spartan there were at least 10 slaves. They developped their livestyle as a
reaction on the constant slave uprisings. Every spartan boy also had to kill a slave "helot" before
being considered a real spartan.

No mention of the helots and periokoi? The Spartan citizen class was an elite minority that ruled
over a vast territory and populace (by Ancient Greek standards); it was only able to dedicate
itself to warfare because it was fed and maintained by serf labour. One could say that the warrior
class devoted more energy into keeping the serf class in check, than into warring with other
states. Otherwise, great series.

They could fulfill those as well during peace time, or the occupations were filled by slaves and
women. Women usually bore the backbone of the society by taking care of matters at home,
busting their asses working on things like farming, and did work within the more "political"
aspect of Sparta.
In certain respects, Sparta is a true example of equality between men and women.

i love many parts about my personal heritage, but the knowledge that part of my family has
always resided in Sparta is surly one of my favorites. My grandmther used to tell me stories that
she heard from her grandmother, that she heard from her grandmother and so on. Their society
though harsh and alien in this day and age, i think its so cool to have MAYBE been related to
some of these warriors. a little fun fact for good Ol' Ted-Ed. Spartan women (for the most part,
not all) would wear a tightened leather band over their left breast, or in some severe cases have
it cut off. all so that if the safety of the state was in jeopardy they would be able to hold a Hoplon
and make and maintain a phalanx if the need became so dire. One final side note....the reason
why Sparta had no walls....was because in their minds....every citizen of Sparta was "a brick in
the wall of Sparta".

What this video doesn't cover how some babies left up there managed to make it back to a
village. if a baby did this it would prove that the greek gods favored it, and it's will to live was
great enough to serve Sparta. Such children were highly prized male or female.
The only myth i can think of right now was one about the woman who became the High
priestess of Athena in Sparta shortly before the first war with Rome.
She had been left on the height of the mountain to die by the elders as she had not tried to curl
up to the hand holding her but instead twisted side to side. though her skin was perfect they
believed her muscles were too weak.
She made it back not mearly to the village nearest the moutian but was almost 2 years old when
she reached her home village. No one along the way had fed her and she had stolen food her
whole life.
when she walked into the village the legend says she went right to her mother's house and sat at
the doorway.
When her mother saw her she summoned the elders to witness what was happening.
They gave her a name and declared her fit to be a Spartan. her early years at home supposedly
passed with very little trouble, she had not begun learning to write on her own but in everything
else even her manner of speaking she was far ahead of her age group.
She excelled in everything and even killed a boy who'd been sent out to find a servant girl to
rape as his right of passage into manhood.
The boy haveing mistaken her for a servant tried to rape her and she ripped off his man part. the
city watch heard the screaming and found the boy as he lay bleeding to death. she was escorted
home. this would happen twice more before she came of age to marry. The man she was
supposed to marry died in a small battle. after his funeral, she declared her intention to enter
the Temple and she was allowed to go after making her argument to the elders.
She is the only high priestess of whom travelers would often be told stories of her hunting in the
forest with the Goddess herself and the Goddess Artimus. It is one such "traveler" who is
purported to be the source of the Written record of her. but the oldest document I have seen of
this ledgend was dated to after the Roman conquest of Greece so who knows.

It's a Diarchy, oligarchy and democracy. I know it sounds like a c********.
So that you can since part of that rule at the same time! Lincoln England how the queen is a
living symbol of the country very similar they're constantly trying to be the exemplary Spartan.
They were subjected to the Constitution. Could cancel each other's decisions. For the head
priests doing all the religious rituals marriages and as well the head judges. And commanders of
the army. So when there is war going on number one Spartan King will go off to battle and the
other one will stay behind. The Spartan King was like a special member of the Council of Elders.
The Council of Elders was The Advisory body to the king but they really rules they're the ones
that drafted the laws and was the high court. To be a member on this Council 28 not counting
the two seats for the king you had to be of noble birth over 60 and with good standing it was an
office hold for life. They will draft them off and send them down to the assembly. Kinda like
Parliament except the assembly was made up of every male Spartan citizen over the age of 30
that went through all the training was warrior etc. Which means every Spartan citizen voted on
every issue that came to them. Ephor there was 5 of them and they were the balance to the
Kings power. They would stop that one of the king from taking too much power. Were Generals
in the Army when he left for war and keep an eye on them. They could arrest and prosecute the
kings as well. It was an office that was hold for a year that could be held by anyone for any social
class technically. They also decided which political issues were to be focused on and the council
elders and the and the supervisors the city's civil and educational needs which is huge power.
They were far more powerful than the kings.

For most of Greek city-state history, walls weren't the priority, nor focused on. The
Peloponnesian Wars were during the 400s, and this was when the Athenians built walls for the
first time. Also they didn't starve the boys, but underfed them, encouraging them to steal food
to eat, but would allow anyone to punish them if they were caught, the logic being that the boys
would learn cunning and stealth from this.

service regardless of when and where equally. but in WW2 the american public really felt the
impact of the war. not as much in modern times. this ulitmatly led to americans being less
greatul of where they lived and the power, our nation has on the world stage. I think if we teach
our children that america has done great things for our world, rather than just hearing the issues
that our going on in our country. we will return the the nation of greatness we once were, and

to quote Thucydides:
"Suppose the city of Sparta to be deserted, and nothing left but the temples and the ground-
plan, distant ages would be very unwilling to believe that the power of the Lacedaemonians was
at all equal to their fame. Their city is not built continuously, and has no splendid temples or

die in childbirth. At least in developed countries most people probably don't even know a

I love TED ed videos, and watch them on a regular basis, however i really cannot believe many of
the things mentioned here. IF the training of the spartans lasted for 13 years relentlesly how
could they not be feed for days(seriosly, those shields and weapons were really heavy for that
time, i would get hungry just by holding one of them for an hour let alone for days).
If a lot of them were whipped until many died in front of the altar, would that not kill too many
and be bad for the army just sounds like a lot of exaggeration for me(TAKE THE ROMANS
EXAMPLE they would whip soldiers for disobedience and not following their commanders order
without hesitation, but not on regular basis).
At the same time from what i remember many spartans lived without the company of women
for a huge portion of their life some without it at all, leading me to ask where did the babies
come from. Seems like this portion of history is full of gaps, and these gaps were filled by what
the writers considered appropriate for the time.

For me, whenever someone starts cursing, their credibility drops a few notches. It tells me that
they feel the need to use those words to emphasize their speech. An educated person should
feel no need.
Also, in what way did you "win?"

Last I checked, safe spaces are very much a place for people to go when their feelings are hurt.
Some are literally places with cookies and videos of puppies playing in a grassy field.
Safe space - "A place where anyone can relax and be fully self-expressed, without fear of being
made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome or challenged on account of biological sex,
race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background, age, or
physical or mental ability; a place where the rules guard each person's self-respect, dignity and
feelings and strongly encourage everyone to respect others."
That is quite literally the opposite of critical thinking. And, not being made to feel
uncomfortable, unwelcome, or challenged on account of physical or mental ability is quite
literally the opposite of the Spartan concept of physical and mental toughness.

@Time Traveler Sure, the far extremes are bad. But, we aren't talking about extremes. We're
talking about general Spartan culture vs. modern leftist liberal culture.
No, a safe space does not mean equality. It means a place where people don't have to fear being
made to feel uncomfortable or have their views challenged.
Critical thinking demands the challenging of opposing viewpoints and the objective evaluation of
differing viewpoints to your own.
Liberal safe spaces, and modern leftist liberalism in general, is the complete antithesis of this.
They want to silence any opposition and not hear anything they might disagree with.
Let me talk a bit about equality for a second.

Newsflash: All Americans are equal under the law regardless of sex, skin color, national origin,
etc.
It's only leftist liberals that can't seem to understand that.
"make a point without hurting the feelings of someone or being rude"
Well, I talk bluntly. I make a point not to ridicule or insult any individual.
That said, if someone gets their feelings hurt or is offended by anything I say, that's their
problem.
I don't care about your feelings.
You can probably see why I despise liberal safe spaces and this sort of "safe space" culture many
have.
I value critical thought and am not afraid to speak the truth bluntly. In turn, I have no problem
with someone else doing the same. You can say I'm 100% wrong. You won't hurt my feelings.
Just don't seek to ridicule or insult me as a person. I speak bluntly, but I will treat you with the
same dignity and respect that I would treat anyone else with.

@Time Traveler "What I mean by equality is that anyone can express their opinion without fear
of being bullied or whatever"
Well, people can do that most anywhere.

I know I certainly wouldn't be allowed to express my views in a "safe space" without being
bullied or ridiculed.
I oppose pretty much every leftist liberal idea.
I'm an Evangelical Christian. Politically, I'm a conservative minarchist libertarian.
I've already seen this plenty of times. Views are respected, except Christian, Conservative, and
Republican views.
I don't really have a problem with that, though. I expect that from leftist liberals.
....
"... A safe-space ideally shouldn't mean that you cannot point out others' flaws, but only that
you cannot tackle those flaws,"
Well, that's not the case in reality. In reality, safe spaces are a haven for kids discussed as college
students who can't handle having their feelings hurt or hearing differing views.
They are the complete opposite of free speech. They are places of censorship.
I'm glad you don't agree that they should be like this, but that is the reality.
....
"if some of these safe-spaces were later on used to hinder critical thinking, that still isn't the real
purpose of why they were created in the first place,"
Sure, maybe that wasn't the original intention. However, that is the current reality. Not some,
but many, are places of censorship.
But, let's move away from just colleges/universities.

If you say anything against homosexuality, you're called a homophobe by the left.
If you say anything against Islam, you're called an Islamophobe.
If you didn't vote for Obama, or are Conservative/Republican, you're often called racist by the
left.
I can think of so many words leftists often use as a way to stifle opposing viewpoints.
....
"People in the minority usually get bullied the most,"

Where? I've never once seen any bullying based on someone being a minority.
In the past, we have had discrimination based on irrelevant factors, such as skin color. However,
that is largely dead and gone.
For the most part, people are judged "not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their
character.
....
"I don't think that originally most people being bullied and in the need of a safe-space would
want to be victimized"
Funny, how leftists are the ones victimizing minorities. They like policies like affirmative action
which lower the standards for blacks, as if black people need special care to compete with other
people.
....
"because a safe-space is not for the 'weak' but for the 'bullied' which are completely different
things"
Here's how you handle bullies. You don't go run and hide in your little safe space.
If someone is bullying you, confront them and tell them to knock it off. If they continue, go to
higher authority.
I had one kid try to bully me in middle school. I told him to stop. He didn't listen. So, I went to
the high school principle and nearly got the kid expelled.
He apologized after that.
That's actually how I first met the high school principle.
I don't put up with bullies. I give them fair warning, but that's it.

@888GRM Ever hear of the Hitler fallacy?
Simply comparing anything to something else related to Hitler is presuppositional and highly
suggestive because of the negative connotations people associate with the man.
People reading your comment are felt assuming that you think there must be something bad (or
good; if you love hitler) about spartan society because Hitler liked it and held it as a superior
ideal model for a well run society. in order for a reader conclude for themselves that sparta was
a bad(or good) society based on the connection you are drawing attention to between sparta
and hitler, they must first compare hitler(state of Germany during the Nazi's party reign) to the
way Sparta was governed to come to that conclusion; Hence why I pointed out you were
implicitly setting up a false comparison. I know you probably didnt realize or intended to do that
but I thought it would not something interesting in it's own right to consider.
but one way to correct or confirm the fallacy i am pointing out is to answer the obvious
question:
why do you find the fact that Hitler fancies spartan society so curious?

+Bigpussycat5 If he doesn't intend to make a comparison then he isn't making a comparison. He

intention be damned. most of human communication is based on inferences-from body

language, word choice, sentence structure, context, hints, queues, innuendo doublespeak...
mass majority of the time we make inferences about something or someone that are correct.
you need to take this into consideration anytime you say something and you especially need to
be ready to clarify your position when it turns out that people are drawing an incorrect
conclusion to a point you are trying to make.
this is why i was careful in saying that the original commenter was setting up a fallacy rather than
saying he actually made one. I was giving him a chance to back track and clarify his intention or i
was giving him enough rope to hang himself by doubling down and confirming that he was, in
fact, making a fallacious argument.
YES, a comparison was made. even you made inferences here in your own right. you said this:
"the reason why it's so curious is that both Hitler and Spartans, who lived in different places at
different times, believed in a certain form of "eugenics". The purpose was different, but the core
idea was very similar."
keyword here is "similar". you can only draw that conclusion if you were making a comparison
between the Spartan society and the Nazi regime.
so now we have a new question: "what is it about eugenics you find curious? "
we could keep going back and forth with questions and answers until we get to the point, and
that is, what ethical issue is being raised here?
the inference that can be reasonably drawn from the original commenter's statement is that
he/she is raising some sort of ethical issue about whether or not Spartan society was good/bad
because it may share some similarities with the type of society that Hitler tried to establish.
again, most people view hitler and anything to do with him in a negative light, so the most likely
inference a person could make from reading the original statement, is that the commenter view
Sparta in a bad light because of it's link with Hitler. that then prompts the reader to have to
consider if he/she agree with with that conclusion.
implicit arguments like this are rather manipulative in their subtlety. most people do not
recognize implicit arguments right away which is why marketers LOVE to use them to sell their
crap. but implicit arguments are also prone to readers sometime making incorrect inferences
and/or missing the point entirely.
now if you honestly did not intend to make an implicit argument then the great news is you can
fix a person's incorrect inference by clarifying your position.
the original commenter could one any one of the following:

1) I do not think view Sparta as a good or bad society because of it's link with Hitler. i am just
making a objective observation. fair enough. that is the response i'd hope to see the commenter
make.
2) I love Hitler. He is my god and any society he tried to model his utopian society after must be
awesome too.
3)Hitler was bad, Naziism is bad, Eugenics is bad and Sparta is also bad because it shares some
similarities with with the first 3.
**********
2) and 3) would, of course, be logical fallacies and that is what I am very much against. my point
here is to force the original commenter to clarify his position in order to see if he will eliminate 2
and 3 as possible arguments that could be set up. I am also trying to point out to any passers by
that it would be fallacious to draw any conclusions about whether or not Sparta is bad society
because they agree with the commenter in that they can also see similarities between Spartan
society and Hitler.
in other words, i am killing two birds with 1 stone.

yes. that is why I called him/her out on it to verify that the assumption was, in fact, correct.
there are only 2 things that can happen at that point:

1) He/she confirms my assumption to be correct and then I can call him out on perpetuating a
fallacy.
2) He/she back tracks and confirms that He/She is not actually making an argument and
acknowledges making one would be fallacious. in this case, my issue would be resolved now that
we are both on the same page.
such is the nature of implicit arguments. like i said earlier. MOST of communication is based on
inferences which is why one ought to think about the implications of what they say and do
carefully.
like i said before, intention be damned. the Hitler fallacy is not something that is obscure and far
reaching. it is a common argument and it is commonly employed implicitly to raise ethical
issues about something or to invalidate the credibility of someone. the most common way it is
employees is buy making comparisons between Hitler and that something/someone. this tactic
is a insidious form of poisoning the well.
The Hitler fallacy is one that people ought to recognize and be wary of because it is used so
commonly to persuade and influence opinions.
accusation: a charge or claim that someone has done something illegal or wrong.
there is nothing wrong with making a valid accusation, especially when the accused is free to
answer to the charges by either denying them or acknowledging their error and accepting the
consequences for it. so when you say:
"What you did was accusing."
you are speaking as if the act of accusing is always unjustified.
now i will make an inference here about what you are actually trying to say and make you a
prefect example about how inferences are always being made and it cannot be helped.
my inference about what you said:

what you really want to say is that my accusation was "unjustified" because it is based on an
assumption, right?
If my inference is correct, my response to it would be:
by me raising the issue, i gave the original commenter a chance to clarify his/her position in one
direction or the other. if the original speaker is willing to acknowledge how his/her comment
can be perceived as an implicit argument, acknowledge that the implicit argument is fallacious
and confirm that they had no intention of making that argument, my issue with the comment
would be resolved and the charges dropped. asking for clarification for statements made where
the reader may be confused, unsure of the point, or suspicious of intent is a good thing. people
who take the time to leave comments actually want to be heard and understood and not
misinterpreted. i am doing the writer a favour by asking them to clarify. if a clarification is too
much of an inconvenience then fine, no one is forcing them to do anything. but at least i raised
the issue so that other speakers can take my concerns into consideration when they read the
comment.

Can't we create a little country like ancient 'Sparta' where people use ancient technology? It
would be interesting to watch. In my opinion they can get away with using penicillin and aspirin,
but they have to use pointy sticks and shields in warfare and would be boycotted from the
worlds Uranium marked.

well females were the only ones who could hold property in sparta. so males couldnt inherit
stuff, only females.
males were the primary workforce of the state (farming, crafting, warfare, politics) while females
generally would hold administrative roles, like managing the household/properties/slaves and
financial affairs.

Spartan women also had the right to vote, unlike Athens. Sparta had a couple of ruling families
which two kings where chosen (voted) from, and Spartan citizens male/female had the right to
vote. kind of like modern democracies.

The women were also allowed to divorce their husband if she felt he wronged or mistreated her
in some way and would most likely be allowed to keep her property and her children and would
be able to remarry with little trouble. And if their husband tried to abuse or rape her, then she
could leave a nice scar on his face to shame him. Honestly, next to Ancient Egypt (before
Alexander the Great btw), Sparta was one of the best civilizations for women.

This is Sparta: Fierce warriors of the ancient world - Craig Zimmer

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/this-is-spa...

Lesson by Craig Zimmer, animation by TED-Ed.

2 310 commentaires ALL

an example of historical bias.

And this had to do with the difference in survival.

Half of children died before reaching adulthood

So their lives were often restricted to keep them safe.

And we were at the goddamn discussion about Sparta.

Egotistical strategist that enslaved everyone.

YOU'RE A FAKE COUNTRY

Because you were Spartan.

How does this apply to the common soldier?

YEAH! I AM RIGHT CAUSE I SAY SO. WHOEVER DISAGREES IS A MORON.

Oh yeah, North Korea is coming for me eh? haha

Google it, check this shit out:

"Leonidas died in battle. YPG" (YPG? What?)

plot twist, lucky bastards

Then of course you also have molon labe...

Guy 2: But who will till the soil?

Guy 1: The slaves.

Me: * grabs a nerf gun * asta lavista....... uncle!

Me: * realized that I have a bad aim and my uncle is fast af *

which translates (I think) as:

But can you DANCE?!"

Also too much use of Plutarch.

SPARTA (what u thought I was also gonna do a joke) XD XD

WALLS ARE UNNECESSARY

Gay couples even formed an ancient elite-troop:

TED-X Is essentially an open-input video blog.

Before Spartan camp:

After Spartan camp:

Pretty damn cool

Except for his family part of course.

İs there any proof. ...than just geografien locations?

If yes, you dir

History is never constant.

A MEME IN THE COMMENT SECTION BOOM

Me, an intellectual: THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

2. Destroy game console.

3. Take away WiFi

Spartan:sorry what was that?!

Then the Greeks see about 50 Spartans behind him

This is 100% true

Trump: I built a wall!

Spartan: what a waste of time............ wuss.

Well if you say so.....

And they fought an empire way more bigger than Greece

And then later got wrecked completely, by Alexander the Great

Because I don't Lear history from websites.

My knowledge of history are from books

Thank you for explaining. Very kind of you.

what do you mean by fascist?

I almost forget it there is also a Greek alhpabet.

Also pay Denbts or gib Clay!

Also the Turks wants their "Gyro" back.

Get fucked, loser.

Greek is just another province of Turkey (Persia.)

Also, in what way did you "win?"

Let me talk a bit about equality for a second.

"make a point without hurting the feelings of someone or being rude"

Well, people can do that most anywhere.
