Recruit Quest	Ancient Spartan Hero - Spartan

Spartans are elite warriors who went through torturous training since childhood.

These Spartan warriors have high attack power and vitality. They use spears and shields together in battle.

Their fearsome [War Cry] spell can stop the enemy for several turns.

Spartans' raw attack power is even more powerful than Seth's Will magic, so you can rely on them in almost any battle.

In order to scout Spartans, you must obtain a [Colorful Soul Stone] from an independent mercenary and an [Old Spartan's Shield] from the Tower of Babel. You can start the recruitment quest from the [Spartan Hero] in eastern Athens.

- A character who uses a spear will cause more damage to melee mercenaries (Sword/Spear/Axe) and less damage to ranged mercenaries (Bow/Gun/Cannon/Instrument) in a PvP battle.

- Above effects will only apply to PvP battles. During regular hunting, there will be no difference.

Beyond Atlantica, history and legend:

Leonidas (pronounced /liːˈɒnɨdəs/, Greek: Λεωνίδας; "Lion's son", "Lion-like") was a king of Sparta, the 17th of the Agiad line, one of the sons of King Anaxandridas II of Sparta, who was believed in mythology to be a descendant of Heracles, possessing much of the latter's strength and bravery. While it has been established that King Leonidas of Sparta died at the Battle of Thermopylae in August, 480 BC, very little is known about the year of his birth, or for that matter, his formative years. Paul Cartledge has narrowed the date of the birth of King Leonidas to around 540 BC.

Leonidas was one of three brothers: he had an older brother Dorieus and a younger brother Cleombrotus, who ruled as regent for a while on Leonidas' death before the regency was taken over by Pausanias, who was Cleombrotus' son. Leonidas succeeded his half-brother Cleomenes I, probably in 489 or 488 BC, and was married to Cleomenes' daughter, Gorgo. His name was raised to heroic status as a result of the events in the Battle of Thermopylae, one of the most famous battles in ancient history.

Popular culture:

Leonidas was the name of an Epic poem written by Richard Glover, which originally appeared in 1737. It went on to appear in 4 other editions, being expanded from 9 books to 12.

Leonidas appears as an NPC in the PC game Titan Quest.

Leonidas also appears as an NPC in the video game Spartan: Total Warrior. In that game, he leads the playable character in battle against the Romans.

Leonidas appears both as a warrior and a promo king of the south warrior in the card game Anachronism.

Fedora 11, a distribution of Linux, is codenamed Leonidas after the Spartan king.

Leonidas appeared in the video game Civilization IV as a Great General unit.

Leonidas and the Battle of Thermopylae are fully described in Steven Pressfield's historical novel Gates of Fire. Published 1998

Leonidas at Thermopyles: History from Ancient Texts by Prof. Marcy George-Kokkinaki (http://www.asxetos.gr/article.aspx?i=1608)

"Leonidas" is a movement of the Delta Halo Suite from the game Halo 2.

"Thermopylae Soon" is a movement of the Finale from the game Halo 2.

"Leonidas Returns" is a movement of the Covenant suite from the game Halo 3

Leonidas is a chain of Belgian chocolate stores, with a Spartan helmet as its logo.

Leonidas became the subject of an Internet meme, with Gerard Butler's (see above) portrayal of him screaming "This is Sparta!" This spawned a series of parodies, in which Leonidas' face is superimposed on someone else's, accompanied with the latter phrase, or some altered version, sometimes accompanied with other lines from the movie.

In the MMORPG Atlantica Online, Leonidas is the "Hero" (upgraded) version of the "Spartan" Mercenary.

As a result of a social revolution occurring in the 8th-7th centuries BC, the whole Spartan state became militarised. This was made possible by the conquest of neighbouring lands, and the enserfment of the people. Known as Helots, they farmed the lands owned by the Spartans, thus removing the burden of supporting Sparta from the Spartans themselves. This left the Spartans free to dedicate themselves to the art of war.

From the age of seven onwards, Spartan males were trained for a life of warfare. They were taught iron discipline, and almost programmed to forget about their individuality for the sake of Sparta. The strenuous training and comradeship engendered between Spartans made them ideally suited to hoplite warfare which required high levels of discipline and selflessness. Spartans were taught not to fear death, only the shame of defeat in battle. In Spartan military culture, throwing away a soldier's aspis was not acceptable. The saying went: "Come home with this shield or upon it".

It is not quite accurate to describe Spartans as professional soldiers, as the military was not an occupation which they chose, but a requirement by birth. Spartans were not employed as soldiers; instead, they were provided with serfs to support them. This can be compared to feudal Europe; knights were not professional soldiers, but a militaristic caste, supported by the local population. Nevertheless, despite their obvious differences compared to other Greek city-states, the Spartans fought in much the same way as other Greeks, only perhaps more effectively. The Spartans did, unusually, have standard-issue equipment, including a shield called the aspis, featuring the Greek letter lambda (Λ), in reference to their homeland Lacedaemonia and the bronzed cuirass that was bestowed upon all of the Spartans with their helmet. Every Spartan wore a scarlet robe to represent them as Spartans. The Helots would usually accompany the Spartans in battles and provide ranged support, for the Spartans thought of archery as a job unfit for a true warrior. The Helots also set camps and performed labour for the Spartans whilst on campaign.
