The one name, Sparta, has started off many conversations on the Greeks and the Spartan sword that was a part of ancient Greek history. Athens and Sparta, the two rivals, which fought for supremacy among the ancient city states consisted of brave fighters who were trained in classical warfare from the beginning.
Having been trained in shock combat, the Spartan sword was the most effective weapon for a soldier in a phalanx. A high degree of discipline and practiced skill was required for the soldiers to maintain their formations in war.
A brief and hurtful battle during the many wars like the Polynesian War, the Greco Persian Wars, the War of the Marathons, eulogized by many a poet and historian, often speak of the Spartan sword and the shield as the best weapons for the battles.
A statue of King Lyonidas I in Sparta is a classical example of a warrior king, something that every Spartan was taught to do since birth, fight for their honor and respect for the state. The state was above everything else and one would either come back a winner from a war or die for ones own state. King Lyonidas Spartan sword held ready for a thrust in combat stands testimony to the Spartans significance on fighting for their rights and their country. The nation was above everything else. Aristotle had spoken of this in most of his writings.
Life has moved past from the fifth century BC. Modern methods of fighting have evolved and people have evolved with new evolutions. At the press of a button man is able to conquer, demolish a whole country, without so much as moving an extra muscle. The age of new developments has pushed us on to new times the Greeks would never have imagined. But they were the original starters of democracy, they sowed the seeds of a civilized democratic society, taught the world true, disciplined methods of fighting. The Spartan sword remains today a symbol of a land which raises its artistic weapon high over its head, ready for battle, ready for anything to die with passion for ones country and ones fellow soldiers. - 15275
