Ancient Sparta was located in Laconia in the Peloponnese. It was built on the banks of the Evrotas River and had a harbor at Gytheio. Spartan society was divided into three classes - Spartiates, Perioeci, and Helots. Spartan culture emphasized military training and excellence in warfare. Spartan men dedicated their lives to the military and Spartan women played an important role in sustaining Spartan society while the men were away training or at war.

Ancient Greece Lectures by Dr. Lizabeth Johnson - The University of New Mexic...UNM Continuing Education
This presentation was part of the "Ancient Greece" lectures by Dr. Lizabeth Johnson for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of New Mexico.
Ancient Greece was one of the most formative civilizations in Western history. While never an Empire, the Greeks, and particularly the people of Athens, developed and put into practice early concepts of democracy and legal equality. Aristophanes and Sophocles wrote classic plays describing issues important to Athenians of the fifth century BC, but which still resonate today - the social cost of warfare and the contest between loyalty to one’s family and obedience to one's government. Even after the end of the Classical period, when Athens and other Greek city-states fell under the control of Macedon and Rome, the Greeks continued to make their mark on the ancient Western world through the development of Hellenistic art, science, philosophy and religious cults. We'll examine the history of Greece from its prehistoric period through the Classical period and into the Hellenistic Age with a particular focus on the political and intellectual advances made by the Greeks and inherited by all of Western society.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

9. ART
• Art on war
• Kouros characteristics were: rigidity, one foot forward
stance, formal hair treatment, bilateral symmetry
(same on left and right), and its frontality (block like).
• The most significant change in sculpture to that date,
controposto was the counterbalance, or s-curve of the
body. One foot came forward and the weight
distribution became more naturalistic. Besides
conroposto, the other characteristics of Classical
sculpture were: head turned on different plain from
body (aloof, representing reason controlled) and less
formal hair treatment.
10. Ancient Greek art
• The common assumption that Sparta lacked artistic achievements is incorrect.
• Pausanias, travelling through Sparta in the second century AD, recorded hundreds of significant
buildings – temples, monuments, tombs, and public buildings – that were part and parcel of
Spartan art and culture.
• According to contemporary sources, Sparta was particularly renowned for its music and dance.
• Spartan bronze works were coveted as gifts and imports.
• Spartan poets were admired throughout the ancient world – and it was one of these
who wrote the first recorded heterosexual love poems known today.
• The reason the pottery was reddish color was because iron oxide (Fe2O3) and calcium
oxide (CaO) in the soil.
• They did not make pottery for good looks they actually used there pottery

11. Government
• its rival Sparta had two kings. One king might
stay at home, while the other was away fighting
battles.
• The Doric state of Sparta, copying the Doric Cretans,
developed a mixed governmental state. The state was
ruled by two hereditary kings of the Agiad and
Eurypontids families,[24] both supposedly descendants
of Heracles and equal in authority, so that one could not
act against the veto of his colleague. The origins of the
powers exercised by the assembly of the citizens are
virtually unknown because of the lack of historical
documentation and Spartan state secrecy.
12. • The duties of the kings were primarily religious, judicial, and
militaristic.
• They were the chief priests of the state and also maintained
communication with the Delphian sanctuary, which always
exercised great authority in Spartan politics.
• Each king had veto power over the other's decisions.
• There was a council of 28 elders, called Gerousia, who were men
over the age of 60 and generally came from the royal families.
• The Gerousia decided civil and criminal judicial disputes.
13. Citizenship
• Not all inhabitants of the Spartan state were
considered to be citizens. Only those who had
undertaken the Spartan education process
known as the agoge were eligible.
• However, usually the only people eligible to
receive the agoge were Spartiates, or people
who could trace their ancestry to the original
inhabitants of the city.
14. Spartan army
• There were two exceptions. Trophimoi or "foster
sons" were foreign students invited to study. The
Athenian general Xenophon, for example, sent his
two sons to Sparta as trophimoi.
• The Spartans were one of the most feared
military forces in world history.
• At Sparta's heyday in the 6th to 4th centuries BC,
it was commonly accepted that "one Spartan was
worth several men of any other state."
15. Military life
• Thucydides reports that when Spartan men went
to war, their wives (or another women of some
significance)
• Would customarily present them with their shield
and say: "With this, or upon this" (Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ
τᾶς, Èi tàn èi èpì tàs)
• Meaning that true Spartans could only return to
Sparta either victorious (with their shield in hand)
or dead (carried upon it).
17. Army organization Social structure
• The Spartan people (the "Lacedaemonians") were divided in three
classes:
• Full citizens, known as the Spartiates proper or Hómoioi ("equals"
or peers), who received a grant of land (kláros or klēros, "lot") for
their military service.
• The second class were the Perioeci (the "dwellers nearby"), free
non-citizens, generally merchants, craftsmen and sailors, who were
used as light infantry and on auxiliary roles on campaign.
• The third and most numerous class were the Helots, state-owned
serfs used to farm the Spartiate klēros. By the 5th century BC, the
helots too were used as light troops in skirmishes.
• The Spartiates were the core of the Spartan army: they participated
in the Assembly (Apella) and provided the hoplites in the army.
18. Ancient Sparta weapons
• Shield - One of the important ancient Greek weapons was the shield. This
was used by a hoplite to smash a spear of an opponent.
• Spear - The hoplites used spears to attack the opposing army. An ancient
Greek spear was known as a "dory". A typical spear has a sharp iron
spearhead on a wooden shaft and a bronze butt. If the spearhead breaks
off, the butt of the spear was used as an additional weapon to fight the
enemy.
• Ballista - A ballista was an important ancient Greek weapon. A Ballista was
a weapon of siege from which multiple arrows could be shot at long
ranges.
• Dagger/Sword - Along with a spear, a hoplite was expected to carry a
sharp dagger or a short sword. This was probably used when a spear was
completely broken.
• Catapult - A catapult was used to throw large objects and stones at the
opposing army. A catapult is one of the ancient Greek weapons used for
besieging an enemy.
19. Role of the people
• The men of Sparta focused their lives on training for the physical and psychological
rigors of warfare.
• Unlike the women of Athens, the women of Sparta were granted an equal stake in
the success or failure of their state. With their fathers and husbands constantly
away training or at war, the women of Sparta were responsible for all else in
Spartan society.
• While the men of Sparta focused their lives on the military aspect of Spartan
society, the women were expected to dedicate their lives to perpetuating Spartan
society through the production of both young Spartans and the food to feed them
and their fathers.
• The women of Sparta had a certain degree of equality that other Greek women
never had. Although Spartan women were treated as equals rather than attractive
trinkets or chattel, much more was expected of them than the trinkets and chattel
of other Greek men.
21. Food
• Most meals were enjoyed in a courtyard near the home.
• Greek cooking equipment was small and light and could easily be set up
there.
• On bright, sunny days, the women probably sheltered under a covered
area of their courtyard, as the ancient Greeks believed a pale complexion
was a sign of beauty.
• Food in Ancient Greece consisted of grains, figs, wheat to make bread,
barley, fruit, vegetables, breads, and cake.
• People in Ancient Greece also ate grapes, seafood of all kinds, and drank
wine.
• They kept goats, for milk and cheese. They sometimes hunted for meat.
