Agoge
Agoge was the Spartan way of rearing the youth into soldiers, beginning around the age of seven.
Located in the woods around the polis was the Spartan training territory, where youths willing to prove themselves came.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War the Spartan misthios Kassandra was tasked by the magistrate of Pitana to escort her son, Makarios, to the agoge for his training.[2]
Around that time Iatrokles served as the agoge master.[3]
Paidiskoi Camp in Lakonia was the camp where the paidiskoi, youths about the age 17-19, remained as reserve members of the Spartan army during their agoge.[1]
