Sparta is one of the largest ancient Greek states. To keep rebellious indigenous inhabitants, the helots, under control and to defend themselves against invasion from outside, a system of education of ideal soldiers was created in Sparta. Each male Spartiat was to become a professional warrior and lead his life in preparation for war and battles. Young men lived in harsh conditions, without conveniences and excesses. The physical form was given great importance, since only strong and healthy men could become soldiers. To each Spartiat the state provided a plot of land and helots for its processing. This provided an opportunity to provide for his family and pay tax without being distracted from military service. However, universal military training turned into a loss in culture. In Sparta there were no philosophers, no artists.
