The Spartans were also known for their witticism. When a Spartan king was being pestered by someone who wanted to know who the most exemplary Spartan was the king said "He who is least like you.". Their witticism was known to be short, dry and blunt and has become known as the 'laconic phrase'.
actually here in greece, laconic phrase and laconic way of speaking mainly describes something that is being told with as few words as possible/ saying just the absolutely necessary.
That’s what he said short dry blunt the quote is basically saying wsomthubf witty with as few words as possible
If they put these videos in school for history , I'd be interested
Idk about this channel but some teachers are starting to use educational channels like oversimplified in their classrooms.

True & they're noble with a honor code of conduct.

Interesting fact. Only Spartan soldiers who died in combat and women who died in childbirth were allowed to be buried with a gravestone.
Yes it was told in an another infographic video .
Greeks burnt their dead. They did not bury them
@@ayushpurohit8266 the Spartans were not like the Athenians. The Spartans buried their dead.
Greeks did both. In athens , bodies were cremated.
Actually this a myth. There are A LOT of myths regarding Sparta and the culture of Spartans in fact. Funeral rites were very important in ancient Greek societies, and the Spartans were VERY pious, VERY superstitious, so such an idea doesn't make sense. Also Spartan women had A LOT of freedoms compared to other Greek city-states of the time. ESPECIALLY compared to Athens which HATED women. (though by no means a feminist utopia, but honestly if you're a girl and had to live in Ancient Greece, Sparta would actually be a better option)
Anyway, I digress. Point is, there's so much about Sparta that's actually common misconception. It certainly doesn't help that really all our sources on Spartan culture comes from NON-SPARTAN sources which is very important to understand. Though if you wanna read up on Sparta and its history, I'd recommend the book "The Spartans: The world of Warrior-Heroes of Ancient Greece" by Prof. Paul Cartledge.
“If I invade Lakonia you will be destroyed, never to rise again.”
-Philip II of Macedon
“If”
-Sparta
No matter how many times I see that phrase it always sounds awesome.
Proceeds to destroy Sparta
@@jaynishnakar3115 they uh didnt, they never conquered sparta and although they fought, the spartans were outnumbered 2 to 1, they both received basically the same amount of casualties
Seriously the fact that it was Sparta & Macedon Arguing. With Alexander the Great's father Philip no less reigning as King is just 🙌🏽
“This is where we fight! This is where they die!” Gotta love Spartans

Leonidas didn’t say that tho one of the soldiers did right?
Xerxes didn't say about the arrows either
Dienekes, Leonidas' lieutenant said that

Fun fact. Spartan training was so rigorously brutal that they viewed warfare as a walk in the park.
Yeah, they LOVED it!

@@nejinaji true
Fun fact about the shields.
The Spartans were punished if at any moment they placed their shield on the ground with its inner side (the "dome" where the straps are) facing down.
The shield was the most important part of their equipment - even more important than the spear- and it was larger, thicker and heavier than your "standard" shield at the time.
So, if the shield was placed on the ground with its inner side down and the soldier needed to quickly pick it up due to an emergency, he would have to turn it over first, wasting precious seconds for himself and most importantly for the phalanx.
That's why whenever they had to place their shield on the ground, it was always inner side up.
Yo this video is fire
32 mins but still earlyy thanks for The knowledge
The halo music is playing chief, let’s finish this
Me sees that I'm early.:My brain QUICK THINK OF SOMETHIN G FUNNY TO SAY

Relatablest!
Actually it was like “QUICK PUT SOMETHING GENERIC DOWN”
I love the background music playing while discussing battle formation and strategy😂
How was their typical sparing? Fist and Kick Fights?
Their sparring had a few things which are to be born in mind. On one hand they certainly did practice weapons combat, but we know little/nothing about those details. As far as unarmed combat goes, the Spartans were extraordinary, with other city states trying to make it illegal for Spartans to compete in such events as boxing, wrestling, and Pankration during the Olympics. Boxing is pretty straightforward, though I believe the rules only deemed eye gouging and attacking your opponent's groin illegal, thus kicking may have been incorporated. Wrestling was two separate events; one from standing where the athlete who performed three takedowns/throws first was the champion, and the other where it started on the ground and athletes would attempt to submit each other. In both events, again, eye gouging and groin shots were illegal. Pankration was a mix of wrestling and boxing, supposedly ment to be the most violent sport of the three, and bearing semblance to Mixed Martial Arts, thus supporting the idea kicks may have been allowed, but that's just my personal theory. Same rules, though the Spartans trained without the restrictions as well to prepare for combat. It is logical to assume they would have done more training with weapons than not, but these above sports are basically ancient Boxing/kickboxing, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and MMA, so if you want to know how they fought, these are probably the best places to look given the lack of historical texts on combat techniques. Hope this answered your question!
I love your answer

U are cool
So, Sparta was it's one nation but also a Greek State? It had some of Greece's rules, but were part of the Greek Nation?
Yeah, It's called city-states
@@rc6147 Yeah, I know
This broke my brain... there was no Greece back then. They were just Greeks who lived under their own city as the capital
City state -
When you go to war with Sparta you fight Sparta and their allies
You’re not fighting Athens or any other city state
They’re seperate with their own rules and customs but ultimately all Greek
