Channel: Steven Pressfield
Date: 2020-10-05

Spartan boys were taken from their mothers at age seven and enrolled in "the Upbringing." They remained in this School of Hard Knocks till age eighteen, when they officially became warriors and took their place in the phalanx. Herodotus tells us that Spartans breathed a sigh of relief and gratitude when they went off to war ... it was so much easier than the training.
