The Spartans

Spartan troops

The Spartans chronicles the rise and fall of one of the most extreme civilisations the world has ever witnessed – one founded on discipline, sacrifice and frugality, centred on the collective, whose goal was to create the perfect state and the perfect warrior.

Here you will find the edited transcripts of all three programmes in the series and a map of the ancient Greek world, plus information on how you can discover more about the Spartans and their extraordinary way of life.
