Historically High
Sparta
This is Sparta! Spartan Race, Sparty the Spartan, god knows how many CrossFit gyms. The culture of ancient Sparta has inspired a certain amount of worship or at least been idolized by numerous modern civilizations. But how much of their legend is fact and how much fiction. How did they gain the reputation as THE elite warriors of Ancient Greece? Did 300 of them really hold back 1,000,000 Persian soldiers? Why aren't they a world power if their culture was so strong. Well it turns out there's some pretty bananas answers to these questions. From the founding of Sparta to it's zenith as the savior of Greece to its eventually decent into legend. This is Historically High.
