What is Spartan asceticism?
Spartan asceticism refers to a moral concept and code of conduct that encourages male citizens to emphasize self-restraint, strict discipline and fearlessness in ancient Greek Spartan society. It originated from the religious teachings and abstinence rituals of ancient people who endured the hardships of secular life. It is reflected in the fact that male citizens have received military training since childhood, cultivating the spirit of self-restraint and patience, and emphasizing that male citizens should abandon luxury and enjoyment in order to better serve the country and the tribe.
