like other greek city - states, sparta needed more land. but instead of starting new colonies, the spartans conquered other greeks. first they conquered the laconians. later, around 730 b.c., they conquered the messenians. the laconians and messenians were captured and were forced to work for the spartans. these captured people were known as helots.
between 800 and 600 b.c., the lives of the spartans were rigidly organized and tightly controlled. males spent their childhood learning military discipline. at age 20, they entered the army. even if they married, they continued to live in the military barracks until age 30. at 30, spartan men were allowed to vote and live at home, but they stayed in the army until age 60. while their husbands lived in the barracks, spartan women lived at home. they were expected to exercise and remain fit to bear and raise healthy children. because of their separation from their husbands, spartan women had greater freedom and power in the household than other women in greece. many spartan women supported the strict spartan values and expected their husbands and sons to be brave in war.
the spartan government was an oligarchy headed by two kings. the kings led the spartan army on its campaigns. a group of five men, who were elected each year, was responsible for the education of the youth and the conduct of all citizens. these men were known as the ephors. there was also a council of elders, which included the two kings and 28 citizens over the age of 60. the council of elders decided on the issues that would be presented to an assembly made up of male citizens. the assembly voted on the issues, but did not debate.
