The Spartans are renowned to this day for their expert fighting skills and warrior prowess. Only the strong survived in the disciplined Spartan armies. Trained only for battle, a young soldier knew but one home -- his barracks, one family -- his unit.  Physical training was the chief occupation, and each man's day was spent in exercise or on the drill-ground.
