initiation rite: Encyclopedia II - Sparta - Military service and training

The origins of the powers exercised by the assembly of the citizens, or apella, are virtually unknown, due to the paucity of historical documentation.

Sparta was, above all, a military state, and emphasis on military fitness began virtually at birth. Shortly after bir ...
