Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

spartans weren't militarily significant or interesting because the governmental entity of sparta was militarily exemplary and mog'd all its neighbors
they were significant/interesting because the singular unit of one spartan soldier was considered militarily exemplary and mog'd all his neighbors
hope this helps, cheers

I don't really understand what you mean by below average military record, below average compared to what?
The speeches made by members of the other city states in the "History of the Peloponnesian War" show that the other Greeks considered the Spartans a cut above everyone else with many Athenian thinking fighting on land should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
The meme is probably right insofar as Sparta has more cultural relevance than they deserve, but is wrong in that it treats history like comparing which superhero was the strongest.
