How Sparta Became Elite; And Why It Collapsed

Sparta is remembered as the most elite military society in ancient Greece. A warrior culture built on discipline, endurance, and the unbreakable Spartan hoplite. From the Agoge to the Syssitia, from Thermopylae to the Peloponnesian War, Sparta forged a reputation for soldiers who would never retreat and never surrender. But that same system contained the seeds of its collapse. In this video, we break down how Sparta’s rigid institutions, its citizen hierarchy, helot labor system, military training, and political structure which created one of the most feared armies in history… and how demographic decline, economic inequality, and the devastating defeat at Leuctra shattered the myth of Spartan invincibility. How did Sparta dominate Athens? Why did the number of full Spartan citizens collapse? How did Thebes defeat the supposedly unstoppable Spartan phalanx? And why did Sparta, which once boasted it needed no walls, eventually build them? This is the full rise and fall of Sparta — from elite warrior state to historical memory. #history #sparta
