Yes they did continue their training but Greece became whole after that battle which forced them to unite against the massive numbers of Persians. It did leaned away from being city-states and became GREECE as ONE.

It was basically the same. Yes they did continue their warrior way of life. About 50 years after the Battle of Thermopylae, Sparta and the Peloponnesian League went to War with Athens and the Delian League. The Peloponnesian War lasted 27 years, Sparta and its allies won the war. Sparta continued to dominate the Peloponnese until in 371 b.c. Thebes beat Sparta in the Battle of Lectura (sp?), which ended Sparta's dominance.

The 300 Spartans, minus the 2 sent home for sickness, were not the bulk of the Spartan army, but were the bodyguard of Leonidas. Sparta remained quite strong afterwards, and later that century won a long war with Athens, the Peloponesian war. However, by the time that Sparta was defeated by Thebes at the battle of Luectra in 371 B.C, they had completely lost their position of strength. When Alexander commanded all Greeks to join him in his travels, Sparta refused, and they were so insignificant that Alexander didn't press them.

They continued their military way of life for centuries after until conquered by the Romans. Unlike what some people posted, at the most, the Greeks only ever unified with each other when a threat (Persians) threatened them as a whole. Though the Athenians and Spartans did agree that they were all Greek, their similarities pretty much ended there. After the Persian Wars, the Greeks ended up warring against each other. That is how Philip of Macedon was able to conquer them so easily.

They did not unite with greece to become one nation. The Greeks did fight with them after that, but not to become one nation.
Sparta was a city-state with a dual kingship. Because if one king dies...they have another to fall back on. Only one king lead the army...and one kept the state in order.
And like someone else said...they stayed with way until the Romans conquered them.
