Many of us are familiar with the Greek Gods such as mighty Zeus, and his brothers Poseidon and Hades. Ancient Greece was a place that built the foundation of civilization as we know it.
In thsi book, we will explore and discover the mysteries and secrets of the ancient Greeks. We will find out about how Sparta trains their citizens to be battle hardened soldiers, how thinkers such as Plato came to be, and how democracy was developed, and an in-depth look at their culture and way of life.

* The effectiveness of the Phalanx military maneuver
* Training in the Sparta army
