The Spartans, dissatisfied with the transformations, who had lost their wealth, once brutally beat the ruler, and Lycurgus became blind in one eye. One day the Spartans asked: “How can we prevent neighboring countries from attacking us?”
• Lycurgus answered: “Stay poor and do not be richer than your neighbors in any way.”
• Lycurgus believed that even the death of a public figure should be useful to the state. When the laws were put into practice, Lycurgus went to the Delphic oracle, making the Spartans promise not to change anything in the legislation until his return. In Delphi, the legislator committed suicide, bequeathing to burn his body and scatter the ashes, so that even the dead would not return to Sparta. The Spartans, faithful to this promise, did not change anything in the laws of Lycurgus for many centuries.

Phalanx is a combat, organized formation of warriors. The phalanx first appeared in Sparta. The warriors lined up in several rows. At the same time they began to move and walked shoulder to shoulder. They pointed long spears at the enemy, while they themselves were covered with shields. The phalanx was vulnerable from the flanks; with this formation it was possible to fight only on level ground.

Slide 2

The physical culture of Sparta reached its highest value by the 6th century BC.

The Spartans (ruling class) were exclusively engaged in military affairs, receiving military-physical training from early childhood. The Spartan father was obliged to show the newborn child to the council of elders, who left him alive if, in their opinion, he was absolutely healthy.

Slide 3

Until the age of seven, physical education was carried out in the family, where the main attention was paid to hardening. After 7 years, children were taken away from their parents and raised in special public houses, where, having divided them into groups, they were treated by state educators from the most honored free citizens. Physical training occupied the main place in education. The upbringing was harsh. The boys received meager food, walked barefoot and, as a rule, without outer clothing.

Slide 4

Each year ended with competitions in running, jumping, javelin and discus throwing, and various ritual dances. Various hoaxes were used. For example, competitions were held in front of the open graves of heroes of the past. One of the tougher forms of testing before initiation into adolescence, at the age of 15, was the custom of cryptia (hiding), when groups of 30 - 40 people, under the guidance of their teacher, underwent unique exercises in the area of ​​rebellious helot villages. The name “cryptia” is due to the fact that houses and villages considered the most dangerous were raided at night, the victims were taken away and killed in an unknown place.

Slide 5

After the probationary period (one year), 15-year-old teenagers ended up in the Eirens group. Here the training was based on drill and weapons mastery. The basis of physical training itself was the pentathlon (pentathlon) and fist fighting. Fist fighting, as well as hand-to-hand combat techniques, constituted “Spartan gymnastics.” Even the dance served to prepare a warrior: in the course of rhythmic movements it was necessary to imitate a duel with an enemy, throw a spear, manipulate a shield in order to dodge stones thrown by teachers or other adults during the dance.

Slide 6

Having reached the age of 20, the Spartans were again subjected to tests, and after them they were transferred to the group of ephebes. Systematic military training lasted up to 30 years. Until the age of 20, girls were taught like boys. When men went on military campaigns, maintaining order became the responsibility of groups of women. The ancient Greek writer and historian Plutarch writes about this: “...The girls also practiced running, wrestling, throwing a discus and a spear, so that their bodies would be strong and strong and so that the children they bore would be the same. Tempered by such exercises, they could more easily endure the pains of childbirth and emerge healthy.”
