This educational system emphasized duty, discipline, and endurance. The boys were required to reside communally in barracks under austere conditions. They were subjected to constant mental and physical competition, often given meager rations to improve their ability to steal or forage for food. At age 30, Spartan males were allowed to leave the communal life but still remained on active duty until age 60. Spartan women did not serve in the military but were educated and given higher status and freedom than women in other city-states. The Spartan army was good at fighting in a “Phalanx”, the primary infantry battle formation in ancient Greek warfare. Armed infantry standing shoulder to shoulder in files several ranks deep. Then they would lock their shields together and advance on the enemy stabbing them with their spears. The Spartans achieved a level of mastery of the phalanx, through long years of rigorous physical and mental training. ▶クイズ No.1 What is the name of the educational system that Spartan boys joined?
