This is a teaser of the bonus episode, Solon, found over on Patreon.

Sparta's path to development as a polis would be different to a lot of other Greek city states. Because of this path they would develop institutions that would seem unique in an otherwise Greek world. One of these developments was that of the Agoge, Sparta's system of education to produce loyal and disciplined citizens. It is this system that we turn to today and try and get better understanding of. We will look at what the Agoge was, why it seemed to develop and the different stages a Spartan would go through during his education.
