====Sparta==== Sparta is an infamous city-state of Classical Greece. Playing off of Athens' democratic and intellectual ideals, Sparta was a militaristic, savage slave-based military state emphasing the glory of death in battle and the inferiority and expendability of slaves. Both Athens and Sparta had strong undertones of pedophilia. One of the most famous Spartans was Kign Leonidas, renowned for sacrificing himself and his small army at Thermopylae, and for writing the original screenplay for the movie "300".
