Detailed explanation-1: -The Importance of Spartiate Discipline: The military training doctrine the Spartans created was intended to enforce a specific esprit de corps that would bind men together from a very young age. Battles in the ancient world were often so perilous that the fate of entire city-states and civilizations lay at risk.
