The sole purpose of Spartan education is to cultivate good soldier who serves the country wholeheartedly. For a long time, Spartans were very successful in the main goal of education. The battle of Wenquanguan in 480 BC is the best example. This year, the Persian emperor Xue Xisi personally led the land and water army and invaded Greece from Thrace to the southwest. Spartan Leonidas led 300 soldiers to guard the hot spring pass in northern Greece, hoping to stop the Persian army here. All Spartans fought bravely and resisted all frontal attacks. But in the end, the Persians found a back road in the mountains, so they attacked the Greeks from both sides. King Leonidas and 300 soldiers all died in the line of duty. Only two people were absent on sick leave. They suffer from eye diseases, which are almost equivalent to temporary blindness. One of them insisted that his slave guide him to the battlefield, and was later killed by the Persians. Another man named Al Stoud thought he was too ill to fight, so he didn't take part in the war. When he returned to Sparta, no one noticed him; People also slandered him as "coward Al Stoddard". A year later, he died heroically in the Battle of Platia, and the Spartans won a total victory, thus washing away his shame.

After the hot spring pass, the Spartans set up a monument on the battlefield, which read: "Passers-by, please send a message to LaXidimen, we will lie here and obey their orders."

It can be seen that Sparta's military education is the foundation of the country and the strategy of strengthening the country. For a long time, Sparta built an invincible and powerful army with military education. They not only ruled the Peloponnesian region for a long time, but also ruled the Greek peninsula after the Peloponnesian War. Even Athens, the maritime overlord in the Aegean region, paid tribute to it.

Of course, the military nature of Spartan education led to the one-sidedness of educational content. Although the soldiers it trains are brave and disciplined, their cultural quality is poor. However, the state's concern for education and strict organization of education work, especially the emphasis on women's education, are still worthy of recognition. Spartan education still has a certain influence on later western education. For example, knight education in the middle ages, boarding schools and public schools in modern England.
