A Spartan is a person from the Greek city Sparta.
The word may also refer to the following:
The Spartans was a 3-part historical documentary series first broadcast on UK terrestrial Channel 4 in 2003, presented by Bettany Hughes. A book, The Spartans: An epic history by Paul Cartledge accompanied the series.
Part 1 deals with the arrival of the Dorian settlers into the Eurotas valley, with a discussion of the dark-age culture that lived there before, that of Menelaus and his wife Helen (known to history as Helen of Troy). Once established, the Spartans expand westward into Messenia, enslaving the entire population, eventually becoming the dominant power in Laconia. During this time Lycurgus transforms the Spartan constitution into the militarised state we know of today. The training of Spartan youths is explained, from their enrollment in the Agoge system right through to their attainment of citizenship. The class structure of the Lacedaemonian state (Helots, Perioeci, and the soldier-citizens themselves) is also covered. The episode ends with the battle of Thermopylae, in which 300 Spartans, including their king, Leonidas, were killed in action defending Greece from a Persian invasion.
Total war is warfare that includes any and all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets, and typically involves the use of weapons and tactics that result in significant civilian or other non-combatant casualties, whether collateral damage or not. American-English Dictionary defines "total war" as "war that is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the objectives pursued, especially one in which the laws of war are disregarded." The term can also be applied when the war effort requires significant sacrifices by most of the friendly civilian population.
In the mid-19th century, scholars identified "total war" as a separate class of warfare. In a total war, to an extent inapplicable to less total conflicts, the differentiation between combatants and non-combatants diminishes and even sometimes vanishes entirely as opposing sides can consider nearly every human resource, even that of non-combatants, as nevertheless part of the war effort.

Plot: In the year 480 B.C., the Greeks and the Persians fight one of the most famous battles in history at a place called Thermopylae. Here, the mighty Persian war machine, which has conquered most of the known world, will attempt an expansion into Europe. The only thing standing in their way will be an army led by 300 Spartans, the greatest soldiers the world has ever known. They will fight to the very last man, and in doing so will protect the cradle of democracy during its infancy, and the battle will go down in history as the greatest military stand of all time.

Billie Holiday on the radio.
My sluggish heart is beating seven beats too slow.
Another sad song and another shot of blue.
Cold and unconcerned are anything but new.
He said "Love endures all things",
and it hurts to think He's right;
If I mark the span of failure,
is his burden just as light?
chorus
I am, Spartan
Close my heart so tight.
Jesus,
Save me
From myself tonight
Limping through the world
there's a knowing look or two.
Is it just the cripples here
who understand the truth?
Why is love so painful?
Why do we always lose?
Paving pathways for the lost
the bitter, and recluse?
He said "Love endures all things",
and it hurts to think it's true.
Did it nail Him to a cross?
Did it crucify Him too?
bridge
The angels are singing over the plains.
The shepherds are quaking, echoing refrains.
And all of our slogans designed to take away the pain
meant nothing to the Son of God that night in Bethlehem.
