I like Sparta and Spartans. There are Halo Spartans, and Sparta Spartans, the warriors of Greece. The Halo Spartans are thousands of years more advanced. They came about in the 2440's A.D., whereas the Greek Spartan warriors came more than 500 B.C.

This is Kat, a female Spartan of the planet Reach in Halo. I threw her in so I had at least 1 female Spartan. Ancient Greece did not allow women to fight.

This guy (Steve Downes) voices the Halo Spartan Master Chief.
This is The Preliminary Sketch of Chief. Obviously it changed a bit in the actual game.

This is Leonidas, a King of Ancient Greece.
This is Leonidas, doubtless the greatest Spartan warrior of all time, at the battle of
Thermopylae.
