Spartan upbringing - Спартанское воспитание

The citizens of Sparta, an ancient Greek city, were famous for their bravery, discipline, and endurance. The lives of Spartans were arranged by iron laws to make a nation of soldiers. They were brought up by the state in the spirit of self-denial, hardship and obedience. Their sports and exercises were regulated by the severest discipline, and made up of labour and fatigue. They went about barefoot, with their heads shaved, and fought with one another naked. The Spartan men were dauntless and faced danger and hardship without flinching. The people of Sparta (ancient Laconia) learned to express themselves as briefly as possible, hence a laconic person is a man of few words.
