Forget everything you have seen, read, heard about the Spartans! One of the greatest kings of Sparta was small! And lame! His name was Agelias II and he lived to be 84! Of which 44 years of reign shared with 5 other Spartan kings (Sparta was a diarchy: governed by two kings) Have you heard of Agoge? Spartan training very hard and austere reserved for young people from 7 years who could turn a small lamb into a ferocious lion! But do you know the 7 pathématas? The divine abstractions?

Discover how the Spartans, ALL the Spartans, forged a mind and a will of steel by challenging the gods themselves! On their land! Find out how they challenged the gods Thanatos (Death), Hypnos (Sleep), Gelos (Laughter), Limos (Hunger), Aidos (Reserve) Eros (Desire), and the terrible Phobos (Fear) to master and control emotions, powerful sensations that can alter their abilities! Discover how superstitious and religious the Spartans were... Because in reality, they were in constant contact with the Gods! Direct descendants of Heracles they were...

The City of Scorpions takes you where no one has ever gone except the Spartans themselves! Join them in their unconscious, in their dreams and become the Warriors of Hades!
