    Not everyone wants to have children and that’s fine. Other who do or have already had children understand how much it can cost.

Sparta, a city-state in ancient Greece, was a warrior making society that took on many disciplines starting at an early age. The Agoge was the system where they made this known and normal. What happens during the Agoge? Why was this implemented? Considering modern times, is this system still possible today?

    Ancient Greece is fascinating for many reasons like the language, the city-states of Athens, Thebes, and Sparta, the first Olympic Games took place during ancient Greece, the architecture, and of course the early Sparta training known as Agoge.
