Simonides

Plutarch relates a comparison made by Simonides between Spartan education of citizens and horse husbandry:

Simonides called Sparta "the tamer of men," because by early strictness of education, they, more than any nation, trained the citizens to obedience to the laws, and made them tractable and patient of subjection, as horses that are broken in while colts.
