Sparta is a city in southern Greece. In antiquity it was a Dorian Greek military state, originally centered in Laconia. As a city-state devoted to military training, Sparta possessed the most formidable army in the Greek world, and after achieving notable victories over the Athenian and Persian Empires, regarded itself as the natural protector of Greece.Laconia or Lacedaemon,was the name of the wider city-state centered at the city of Sparta, though the name "Sparta" is now used for both. The Kings of Sparta were believed to be the direct descendants of Heracles.
The city of Sparta lies at the southern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Evrotas. The site was strategically located; guarded from three sides by mountains and controlling the routes by which invading armies could penetrate Laconia and the southern Peloponnesus via the Langhda Pass over Mt Taygetus. At the same time, its distance from the sea—Sparta is 27 miles from its seaport, Gythium—made it difficult to blockade.

Used by Spartans to demonstrate to Persian messengers the first, second, and third laws of motion. Upon kicking the messenger over the ledge, the messenger exerted an equal force back upon the Spartan. At the same time, gravity accelerated him down the seemingly endless hole, and he will continue moving with a high velocity until he encounters the ground and transfers momentum to the ground, equal to his acceleration times his mass.
In reality, the phrase is simply one of the most awesome phrases ever uttered before.

the single greatest battle cry in existance. Every time it is heard it brings an un-conditional tear to one's eye. It was spoken by leonidas prior to kicking a messanger in the chest in order to send him sprawling into a well.
1-"This is madness..."
2-"Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!"
2-*proceed to kick into huge and conveniently placed well*

1. An ancient city. Spartans were well known for their brutal fighting. It was the dominant military power of Greece until 371 BC, after their defeat in the "Battle of Leuctra."
2. An internet meme originating from the movie "300." It is simply a scene where King Leonidas kicks a Persian messenger in the chest, falling down a giant hole.
