Summary
The Ancient Spartan way of life is often glorified in film and television, but should we be horrified? Modern, "Alpha Male Influencers," harken to the brutal training and military prowess of the Spartan soldier as a form of motivation to become elite in contemporary society. This idea along with how sick the movie 300 was, inspired Strider to look into whether or not it would be tight to have lived in Sparta 2500 years ago.
