Hi I'm here to share some facts about Sparta with you so lets skip the intro and hop right in (This is day 1 of the 7 post challenge where it is my homework to do a blog post each day for 7 days).
What is Sparta?
Sparta is an ancient Greek society that has a statue of Ares the war god chained in the heart of Sparta so the spirit of war never left it's inhabitant's. Their symbol was a giant red a for Ares which they put on all their flags, shields and chest plates.
Their battle formations
The Spartans loved their spears so they had at least 3 lines of them at the front. Next in line there were around 7 lines of swordsmen that would break from the group to start a massacre. Then they would have 2 rows of archers. You might wonder why they only have 2 rows and that is because they thought archers were cowards and were weak however they are part of what turns the tide of battle. Also they brought like 5 priests with them for good luck.
All this info and more can be found on wiki and many more websites.
