Spartas main concern was to train and prepare for battle. They were considered to be the best warriors, and had the best reputation. They went so far as to have strong women marry fast men, in order to breed sons for war. These newborns were inspected and if there was any imperfection the baby would be thrown off a cliff. Those who had slaves put them to work on the farm so that men and boys could concentrate on their army.

Religion was overall the same all throughout Greece. They believed in a religion named Animistic. This religion is based on the belief of spirits, and that they are able to depart from the body. They also believe that the world and all natural matter have their own spirits, souls and conscious.
