One non-fiction book written about Spetsnaz training claims that they routinely held river-crossing and small-boat drills in full field gear — without any provision for lifeguards or search-and-rescue. If you couldn't avoid drowning, then you're not Spetsnaz material. Hodkinson, Stephen (1996). "Agoge". In Hornblower, Simon (ed.). Oxford Classical Dictionary. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
She was reminding him that it was his duty to fight bravely for his homeland, to honor his weapons, and, if necessary, to die for it. Examples include "We should not investigate facts by the light of arguments, but arguments by the light of facts" for Myson, [25] and "Do not let one's tongue outrun one's sense" for Chilon. [26] Until the late 5th century, however, each file seems to have had a depth of only 8 men. Connolly (2006), p. 40 While the militiamen of other cities spent the months outside the fighting season as farmers or craftsmen or merchants, the Spartans were full-time soldiers. As Plutarch observed, “they were the only men in the world for whom war brought a respite in the training for war.” Russian special forces (the Spetsnaz) are notorious for this, going through training that wouldn't be tolerated by human rights groups in any western country.So too, religious obligation came even before martial duty. The Spartans delayed sending a deployment to the Battle of Marathon because the call came in the middle of a religious festival. For the same reason, Leonidas sent only a small advance guard to Thermopylae instead of Lacedaemon’s main force. Stuttard, David (14 October 2014). A History of Ancient Greece in Fifty Lives. Thames & Hudson. p.88. ISBN 978-0-500-77221-8. these men neither tilled the soil nor toiled at the crafts—but freed from labor and sleek with the palaestra’s oil, they exercised their bodies for beauty’s sake and passed their time in the polis . . . they were ready to do all and suffer all for this one accomplishment — noble and dear to human kind — that they might prevail over all against whom they marched.” –Josephus The Spartan army stood at the center of the Spartan state, citizens trained in the disciplines and honor of a warrior society. [1] Subjected to military drills since early manhood, the Spartans became one of the most feared and formidable military forces in the Greek world, attaining legendary status in their wars against Persia. At the height of Sparta's power – between the 6th and 4th centuries BC – other Greeks commonly accepted that "one Spartan was worth several men of any other state."

The cooling branch came about in May this year. The five members of staff we took on to open it had 15 years’ experience each. They repair radiators for all vehicles such as vintage cars, forklifts, commercial vehicles and light vehicles. They were all very excited to join us as we had a much wider reach than their former employer.In this final installment of the Spartan Way series, we’ll take an expansive, inspiring, and thoroughly fascinating tour of the essential mindset and tactics that allowed these warriors to battle fiercely and come out the victor. There Is Power in Appearance The Spartans’ constant military drilling and discipline made them skilled at the ancient Greek style of fighting in a phalanx formation. In the phalanx, the army worked as a unit in a close, deep formation, and made coordinated mass maneuvers. Spartan Women The Spartan philosopher Chilon — one of the Seven Sages of Greece— famously said that “less is more,” and this was a maxim that guided the whole ethos of Lacedaemon — from its buildings to its citizens’ clothing and diet. Indeed, “Spartan” today remains a descriptor synonymous with simplicity, austerity, and frugality — a comfort with discomfort and a disdain for luxury.
