1) Spartan infants were inspected, and even known to be discarded!
When a Spartan boy was born, he was immediately inspected by the so-called council of elders from the tribe for any physical deformities. And, if the infant did fail the test, there were instances when the baby was left abandoned on hillsides (according to Herodotus’s version - they were shoved off the edges of Mount Taygetus). This merciless action either led to the starvation of the baby or (fortunately) led to its adoption by neighboring people
2) Spartan military and ‘dancing’ training started from the age of five
3) Sparta was ruled by two kings, and they were subject to most of the common civilian laws.
The two kings generally came from the ‘royal’ families of the Agiads and the Eurypontids, and by 6th century BC this dual arrangement (diarchy) allowed one king to go on a military campaign while the other king could rule from his home base. For example, Leonidas hailed from the Agiad family, while his most probable contemporary was Leotychidas, a successful military general in his own right, who came from the Eurypontid family.
