From Here to History
This is Sparta
They were controversial in their own time as well as ours. A society capable of impressive discipline and moments of jaw-dropping heroism. They were also a rigidly hierarchical culture who could use brutal suppression to maintain their preferred social order.
With this episode, we're beginning a series on some of history's famous warrior civilizations and we chose one of the most notorious of those as our jumping off point: the Ancient Spartans.
