They where. There was no name for one who completed the Agoge, even the Spartiatai. Rather, if they did manage to complete it (the Spartiatai), they became Homioi, or Equals.

Chapter something...

King Akrotatos stood firm... This was HIS ring afterall! Young Tellianos of Thebes stood opposite... He was not intimidated the slightest. He WAS the other finalist. 5 people had died already in the ring that day. "FIGHT!" So starts the most brutal of all sports. Pankration... I myself dare not enter... Not after what I've seen personally! The 190lbs Thebean was lifted above the King, he threw him about 10 feet away, but the boy shot up like an arrow, charged forth and unleashed a fury of blows, under which a lesser man would have been slain by. Our King parried blow after blow like his hands were shields and his arms were blades. The fight seemed to go well, and was very exciting. Nobody could tell who would be the victor. Each round proved to have a different man besting the other. Till the final round that is. It was cut short horribly. The Thebean rushed forward, threw the Spartan king over his shoulder, punched down but missed, Akrotatos rolled to his right, hopped up and shot the boy in the neck with his fist. He made a horrible gurgling sound as blood spewed from his mouth. He flailed around trying to gain some bearing, falling over himself. the horrible scene lasted 5 minutes, with onlookers shocked and horrified. They'd seen men die in the ring... But this boy was but 19, had much promise, and to end with such a gruesome death was quite chilling. He knew the risks... It was all part of what you accepted when you entered that ring.. Especially with.. A Spartan.

Nice chapter there, mate. Always liked Pankration, wanted to do some lessons this year as well, but University seems to get the best of me

I got one problem with this actually
wasn't thebes raised to the ground save for the temples and a house of a famous writer by alexandros after they rebelled? or was it rebuild later
