We can't comment on there....but I rather like the thought of the Spartans enjoying a kylix of coffee (minus milk and honey I suppose) !
Is it feasible that coffee was an ingredient of the Spartan diet..?

Seems to me, if they'd had coffee, it would have spread throughout the Mediterranean. Laconicity was all the rage among the young philosophers, I'd imagine it would have quickly found a wider audience, and not taken 'til the 1700s to become widely available in Europe.
