A unique social system emerges in ancient Sparta; militaristic, communal and disciplined with state enforced eugenics and euthanasia. It also is the first Greek city to define the rights of citizens. Sparta and Athens become bitter rivals. Sparta finally emerges victorious in its decades-long war with Athens but enters a long period of decline. Part 1 of 3G

The Spartans
For Athens, Sparta is a frightening place that turns its children into fighting machines. Worse still are Sparta's women: liberated, independent, opinionated, they take an active part in sport, race horses and chariots, celebrate nudity and wield power in the absence of their men. They are unique in the ancient world -- and an affront to Athenian notions of femininity. When war between Sparta and Athens finally comes, it rages for decades and splits the Greek world until on the island of Sphacteria, the reputation for fearlessness of Sparta's famed warriors is shockingly undermined. Part 2 of 3G
