Question

Which of these most accurately describes Gytheon?

Answer

Gytheon was a port town used by Sparta to access the Mediterranean. Notably, Gytheon was very hard to invade by sea because of the dangerous conditions in and around that area. As a result, Spartans never became adept sailors or merchants, and instead focused on developing their land-based military.
