Legacy
Ancient Sparta left a brilliant legacy behind. It was one of the first societies to appreciate the roles of women and give women more of an opportunity to be equal. Sparta left behind an amazing military campaign that is even renowned today. It has left behind the idea of "serving their city, in the place of walls and bricks".
An example of this strength is a fable of a Spartan boy. In Sparta it was fine to steal if you didn't get caught. The boy had stolen a live fox and hidden it in his cloak. When approached by a male officer he refused to show what was under his cloak. The fox, determined to escape, ate his way through the boys chest. But instead of giving into the pain and getting caught, the boy held his ground until his life left him. Everyone today who is asked about Sparta will tell you of their strength and bravery and this is the legacy that Sparta left behind.
