What country was once sparta? who are the most closely related people to the spartans? Do you think they are Brutal and built. They must have some kind of advantage when it comes to fighting?
 
Sparta was just a collection of villages in southern Greece. They were just people. True, they were considered the best warriors in the Greek world, but they had there fair share of losses. They continually failed to conqure Argos, another city state. And a bit after the Peloponnisan War they faded into insignificance. Alexander the Great didn't even bother to conqure them they were so weak. Easily, the Spartans are the most exagerated society to ever exist.
 
The Spartans were Doric Greeks, who came from the north, and conquered and colonized a place in the Peloponessis named "Lakonia." Reportedly, they conducted wars against the "Helots," who had the same name as that of their own serfs or servants. The Helots were apparently the descendants of earlier Achaean Greeks, such as the ones that fought the Trojan War, before their societies were weakened by something. That may have been long droughts, earthquakes, or volcanoes.

After the Romans conquered Greece, the Spartans, like other Greeks, became their subjects. There's a story about a slave who wa named "Spartacus," who led a slave revolt in Italy.
