Spartan march


Tyrtaeus
Spartan march

ΑΓΕΤΕ', Ω ΣΠΑΡΤΑΣ ΕΥΑΝΔΡΩ
ΚΩΡΟΙ ΠΑΤΕΡΩΝ ΠΟΛΙΑΤΑΝ,
ΛΑΙΑ ΜΕΝ ΙΤΥΝ ΠΡΟΒΑΛΕΣΘΕ,
ΔΟΡΥ Δ' ΕΥΤΟΛΜΩΣ ΑΝΣΧΕΣΘΕ
ΜΗ ΦΕΙΔΟΜΕΝΟΙ ΤΑΣ ΖΩΑΣ.
ΟΥ ΓΑΡ ΠΑΤΡΙΟΝ ΤΑ ΣΠΑΡΤΑ.


Go forth, children of citizens of Sparta, 
the land of brave men.
With left hand 
the shield put forward firmly, 
The spear raise with your right
Go forth and show your courage 
without fearing for your life
Cause fear for one's own life 
does not become to Spartans
