The ag g was the rigorous education and training regime mandated for all male Spartan citizens, except for the firstborn son in the ruling houses, Eurypontid and Agiad. The training involved learning stealth, cultivating loyalty to one's group, military training (ie: pain tolerance), hunting, dancing, singing, and social preparation The word "agoge" had in ancient Greek many meanings, among them seizure or abduction, but in this context generally meant leading, guidance or training. According to folklore agoge was introduced by the semi-mythical Spartan law-giver Lycurgus but its origins are thought to be between the 7th and 6th century BC when the regime trained male citizens from the ages of seven to twenty-nine. The aim of the system was to produce physically and morally strong males to serve in the Spartan army. It encouraged conformity and the importance of the Spartan state over one's personal interest and generated the future elites of Sparta. The men would become the "walls of Sparta" because Sparta was the only Greek city with no defensive walls after they had been demolished at the order of Lycurgus.
