i've just been wondering about the history of Spartans and how they are connected with the spartan IIs. I know that Spartans were raised solely for battle. Is there anything else?

The book seems to go along with them too. ie The Fall of Reach or The Fall of Thermopolyea. I still dont know how to spell it, but ya, they are alot alike.

They are not really connect to the Spartan IIs other than in name. Scipio can cover this really well. But basically Sparta was a city state in ancient Greece which was very militaristic.

ya the spartans belived that their way to worship the gods was by training for combat. just like athens' goddess was Athena, the Spartans' god was Ares (god of war). the project was probably just called the spartan II project because they were being trainded for combat

i found this story from sparta... it goes kinda like...

Once a Spartan Male Child stole a Fox while in training, thats what male children in sparta do(steal), and the Spartan's master got suspicious... The Spartan child hid the fox in his shirt so his master wouldn't see it... He kept it in their so long that the fox scratched and ate away inside him until he died... the spartan would rather be eatin alive than have to go through a punishment...

something like that...

this would make a good story for MC... like, he and cortana find a flood spider and MC gets infected by it... and he hides it from everybody in his helmet until he goes crazy then dies... that would be kool...
