10 minute clip - What Partying was Like in Ancient Sparta
text from youtube "Residents of Ancient Sparta are remembered by history as hard-core soldiers. A Spartans’ life began and ended in the military as a Spartan was considered a soldier their whole life. That description does paint Spartans as stoic, dull soldiers who had no other interests in life than their duty to dominate their enemies but the truth was far from it. Spartans, contrastingly, enjoyed much more leisure time than citizens of any other Hellenistic city-state.
