spartan army at Mantinea 418 BC

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

But the fact remains. The bigger portion of Spartans did not fight a fair battle that day. Sure, in that situation,were they not so disciplined defeat was certain. But the whole right wing did not even come in contact with the enemy. It just weeled to the left,to save their defeated left wing. I find it a pity than is this Great battle we donn't have a line of Spartans and a line of Argives or Athenians fighting equally for the victory :lol: It was the only such oportunity in the whole war :lol:
