The Spartans formed an elite and one of the best-trained armies of the ancient world. Their hoplites became famous in key battles such as Thermopylae (480 BCE) during the Persian Wars, where a small detachment of Spartans led by King Leonidas mounted a heroic defense against a much larger Persian army. Their phalanx tactics, discipline, and physical perfection made them warriors who became models to follow even in modern times.
