"At age 7, they took him from his mother. At 12, he killed his first slave as a test."

The Spartan Agōgē wasn’t just military training—it was a state-sponsored nightmare designed to turn boys into emotionless super-soldiers. Few survived. Fewer stayed sane.

⚔️ 8 Brutal Stages of the Agōgē
1️⃣ Age 7: Ripped from family, assigned to a herd of boys
2️⃣ The Hunger Games: Forced to steal food—but whipped if caught
3️⃣ Krypteia Death Squads: Teen Spartans hunted helot slaves as target practice
4️⃣ The Gauntlet: Annual beating contest at Artemis Orthia’s altar (some died)
5️⃣ Battle Initiation: Sent to war barefoot with no armor at age 20
6️⃣ Black Broth Diet: Purposefully disgusting blood soup to build endurance
7️⃣ The Pit: Dropped into a chasm for days with only a dagger
8️⃣ Final Test: Kill a helot with bare hands to earn citizenship

💀 Shocking Psychological Warfare
• No Names: Boys were called "it" until age 18
• Torture Contests: Who could endure flogging longest without screaming
• Forced Homosexuality: Older warriors took "mentor-lovers" for the boys

⚡ Why It Worked (And Failed)
✅ 300 Spartans held Thermopylae against 100,000 Persians
❌ Population Collapse: Only 1,000 Spartans left by 300 BC (too many boys died)
❌ No Adaptability: Crushed by Theban gay elite warriors at Leuctra
