Historical accuracy of Spartan warrior training

I've been reading about the Spartans and their training methods... how much of what we know is actually supported by evidence?? It seems like a lot of the stories about their toughness and discipline are based on incomplete or biased sources. What are some credible sources that contradict or confirm the popular narrative about Spartan warriors?

How many focus on the 'background players' in history? ???

I keep running into this pattern... I get bored of the same top-line battles/emperors/military strategies and end up diving into minor diplomats?... or the guy who invented some weird 17th-century tool that maybe influenced... something??.

Does anyone else fixate on the 'quiet contributors' while dismissing the 'obvious' stuff?? Let’s be real—the 0.5% of people who remember the name 'Bartholomew Roberts' instead of Blackbeard must have some weird hobby ???
