The formation process of Sparta;

At the beginning of the invasion of Lagonia, Spartans maintained an equal relationship with the conquered people, and local residents enjoyed certain equal rights, known as "border people", that is, "Pirasians". They are free men, and they are politically allied with Sparta. However, Sparta is the leader of the alliance.

Around the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 8th century, Spartans deprived the Pirasians of their rights and asked them to pay tribute, which caused the Pirasians living in Shiloh, south of Lagonia to resist.

The Spartans suppressed the resistance and reduced the Pilaszi people here to collective agricultural slaves-"Shiloh people". Shiloh slavery in Sparta originated here. With the expansion of the Spartan conquest, most of the inhabitants of Lagonia became Silos.
