  Sparta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the age of twenty, the Spartan began his military service and his membership in one of the dining messes or clubs (in Greek 'syssition' or 'phyidition'), composed of about fifteen members each, of which every citizen was required to be a member and where all meals were taken.
Only native Spartans were considered a full citizen, and needed to undergo the training as prescribed by law, and participation in and contribution to one of the dining-clubs.
The Spartans apparently believed that encouraging the older, accomplished men of the city to have relations with the younger men was conducive to the education of the young men.

C., in his fourth book on Lacedaemonians in over thirty years of study, shows us there is much more to Spartan life than the simple austerity embodied in fl broth.
While C. demonstrates that many segments of Spartan society, hupomeiones, the "inferiors", and women too, possessed a certain level of literacy, he concludes it was primarily an oral culture, which differed from other Greek cities in its penchant for brevity and wit in self expression.
C.'s introduction to the excellent "Rebels and Sambos in Classical Greece: A Comparative View" tells us that the piece began as "an evangelistical exercise in the comparative method." As such, it ought to be read by anyone contemplating the use of such an approach.

C came into being in the years 1969-1973, in parallel with the early development of the Unix operating system; the most creative period occurred during 1972.
Finally, the incipient use of C in projects subject to commercial and government contract meant that the imprimatur of an official standard was important.
In particular, the C standard did not attempt to specify formally the language semantics, and so there can be dispute over fine points; nevertheless, it successfully accounted for changes in usage since the original description, and is sufficiently precise to base implementations on it.

Even the Spartans themselves, as we know from experience, were superior to others only so long as they were the only people which assiduously practised the rigors of discipline; and nowdays they are beaten both in athletic contests and in actual war.
Their previous superiority was not due to the particular training which they gave their youth; it was simply and solely due to their having some sort of discipline when their antagonists had none at all....

The question of the existence of a social mind is one of interpretation rather than of fact, since the meaning of the term is, itself, in doubt.
There must be a marital relation, parental relation, a filial relation, and a fraternal relation; and these relations are arranged in a fixed pattern.
Thus, for example, if A stands in the marital relation B and if C stands in the filial relation to A, then B stands in the parental (or step-parental) relation to C. In a system the terms appear only as defined by the relations, or as enabling the relations to obtain.
