2 The Warrior Archetype

Episode Two: “With This Or On It”

It’s only fitting to begin our exploration of the Warrior Archetype with ancient Sparta. But let’s not start with the men. Let’s start with the women. Spartan women were famous as the most beautiful and the free-est in the ancient world. But they were also the toughest-minded and the fiercest enforcers of the warrior ethos to which their husbands, sons, and fathers aspired. Let’s begin this series with them.

    Oh, so well said; thank you. It’s the “We Culture” as opposed to the ‘Me Culture”, and in today’s America, the ‘Me’s’ are the vast majority. But not in this Marine Corps Family! S/f

    This is so fascinating, thanks, Steven. To show that the Spartan women’s attitudes were not universal in the Greek culture, below is a poem by the femaile poet Sappho from Lesbos:

    Some say an army of horsemen, others
    Say foot soldiers, still others say a fleet
    Is the finest thing on the dark earth
    I say it is whatever one loves.

    (translation by Cambridge University Press, 2014)

    Not exactly the militaristic spirit of the Spartan women!

    Most of the places in the world, the women are not being treated as equally as men.But in some countries the women empowerment has been enhanced due to education and self career development. Now many women are in financially independent as well and has been contributing into the family. you could read the additional info about casino’s reviews and deposit bonuses to get started playing online casinos.It would be also good when we the modern people show respect towards women’s empowerment and thus we could establish a better community across the globe.

    As a Soldier, it started to become tedious to respond to the constant, “Thank you for your service” comments one would get at Starbucks. It wasn’t until I deployed and returned that I finally found the appropriate response.

    “You’re welcome. Actually it is a pretty great gig, you might consider it yourself. The thanks goes to my wife. I was the one running off to the Super Bowl to play ball with my besties. My wife is the one who truly sacrificed, lifted my burdens that I dropped to chase the Flag.”

    It was different each time, but it wasn’t until I came back from combat that I realized what true courage was. It was to love a man/woman through combat, holding a family together, and staying with that Soldier when the scar tissue of combat reared its ugly head.

    Military spouses, 1st Responder spouses, and maybe to some extent semi-pro athlete/up and coming or b/c list artists & performer spouses are the true fountainheads of resilience and strength. Bills paid, children reared, pets fed, bandaids applied, packages sent, long stretches of ambiguity stoically shouldered alone. That is heroic.

    Our culture, obviously, idolizes the wrong figures. Thank you Steven for reminding us who ‘wears the pants in the household’.

    I think that in 21-st cenury every woman should be financially independent. Even if you stay at home – you can earn money playing online casinos. I started playing online casinos from last spring and I highly recommend to use thrusted reviews, because of a lot of scam. Also if you don`t have enough expirience – play on low deposites. I use MindepCasinos to find relevant reviews and choose thrusted casinos to play.

      This is an inspirational story for not only for the women but also for the men. We should follow such great story and support something like this site to help the people.

    I returned from battle that I understood what genuine essay tigers review fortitude was. It was to cherish a man/lady through battle, holding a family together.

    ‘The Women of Sparta ‘ is so inspirational and motivational for the modern young generation especially girls and women. Due to globalization, we could get connected with thousands of girls and women across the world through this way and have a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing this motivational post!

    You describe today’s American culture. Go back to WWII era of American culture. Mother’s were like those Spartan women. That culture began to unravel starting in 1950s corporate push for consumerism. You’re also correct that the warrior spirit still exists in isolated pockets — even my subscribers at bazoocam agreed with you. The burden, however are the few having to defend the many. That’s also breaking down. WE warriors are getting exhausted by loathsome masses.

    Spartan women were really mentally strong.
