For, indeed, before they engaged in battle, the king first did sacrifice to the Muses, in all likelihood to put them in mind of the manner of their education, and of the judgment that would be passed upon their actions, and thereby to animate them to the performance of exploits that should deserve a record. At such times, too, the Lacedaemonians abated a little the severity of their manners in favor of their young men, suffering them to curl and adorn their hair, and to have costly arms, and fine clothes; and were well pleased to see them, like proud horses, neighing and pressing to the course. And therefore, as soon as they came to be well-grown, they took a great deal of care of their hair, to have it parted and trimmed, especially against a day of battle, pursuant to a saying recorded of their lawgiver, that a large head of hair added beauty to a good face, and terror to an ugly one.

白话
斯巴达国王在出战前先向缪斯女神献祭，很可能是为了提醒将士：他们受过的教育、后人将如何评判他们的行为，从而激励他们做出值得记载的功业。那时斯巴达人也会对年轻人稍减严厉，允许他们卷发、佩戴精美武器、穿好衣服，乐见他们像骄傲的马一样嘶鸣着冲向赛道。因此年轻人长大后非常在意头发，尤其战前会梳理分缝，这符合他们立法者的话：浓密的头发让好看的脸更美，让丑陋的脸更吓人。
