Have you heard of the warriors bathed in wine?


 Sparta, where new born children are drowned in wine

If you don't talk about Spartans when you talk about warrior cultures, you will be a person who has no knowledge about the history.

The story of the battle of Thermopylae, based on the 2006 movie 300, tells us how many warriors the people of Sparta, a Greek empire, are.

If a boy was born in Sparta, the first thing to do was to bathe him in wine. There was an opinion among them that if the child died, that child would not be a strong person.

If the child becomes weak after mourning, throw it away to be adopted by the people of other kingdoms or as food for animals.

But the little babies who were left unharmed were lucky to survive. They were accepted by society as future strong warriors
