Spartans despised culture and education. Teenagers only need to be able to write commands and notes. Spartans asked their children to be concise and straightforward, and formed the habit of silence from an early age. They talk like military orders. Once, a king threatened the king of Sparta to obey his orders, or he would raze Sparta to the ground. The king of Sparta replied, "Please!" This concise answer was later called Spartan answer. Similarly, Spartans despised literature, art and natural science. In the city of Sparta, there is hardly a magnificent building, and the Spartans have not produced a beautiful work of art to pass on to future generations. Spartans practiced "two kings". Two kings have unlimited power only when they are fighting. One king acts as commander in chief, and the other king stays at home. Usually all major issues are decided by the 30-member "Council of Elders". There are five consuls to assist the king in handling government affairs. All important matters concerning the polis are decided by the council of elders. However, in name, it must be approved by the General Assembly before it can take effect.

In the long-term foreign war, Sparta intensified its oppression and exploitation of the Luo people in Riccardo Chailly. The heroes held many uprisings. About 640 BC, Luo people in Riccardo Chailly launched an armed uprising for more than ten years. In 464 BC, Spartan heroes revolted again. Brave and tenacious, they reached the gate of Sparta and persisted in their struggle 10 years. Desperate Spartans released the rebels. The rule of Sparta was thus dealt a heavy blow. After the middle of the 4th century BC, Sparta gradually declined.
