How can I get some of that brainwashing for myself? That sounds awesome.
Except it was the Athenians who were misogynistically homosexual, and apparently also ageist as well.
As far as I understand it, we guess at this because the Spartans didn't write much but the Athenians wrote a lot, including making fun of them for things like: not being Saudi Arabia/Iran towards women and such other outrageous concepts like respecting your elders.
Also Thebes had a lot of reason to hate Sparta. Among them was that those 300 famous Spartans were accompanied by several thousands of Thebians who were put in largely sacrificial positions to better save Spartan lives.
To be fair, Sparta’s “reputation” came mostly from having a remarkable propaganda machine. They were a bunch of paper tigers.
I wouldn’t really take anything they put out about their rival as more than that.
