    Spartans were a dominant military force. They were actually kind of a shitty military force who was really good at PR.

    The Spartan Hegemony only lasted 30 years, and only because they kind of glory-hogged the aftermath of the Greco-Persian war after nearly losing the war due to their refusal to muster.
