drill from early childhood, for every military duty.
2. Q. What two names are permanently associated with the rise of Theban
power? A. Epaminondas and Pelopidas.
3. Q. What was the training and what some of the striking
characteristics of Epaminondas? A. He was trained from early youth in
all the branches of gymnastics and military duty; was distinguished by
