Myth: Spartans Threw Infants Off the Cliff

There is this legend about Spartans disposing of the "ill-born babies" by throwing them off some cliff in the Taygetus mountain range. And the legend itself comes from Plutarch and his “Life of Lycurgus”.

That's a myth. But this is not really what we are discussing here. We’re discussing infanticide in Sparta and in Ancient Greece in general. Did they kill ill-born and deformed babies? You know, without involvement of a cliff, through some other methods of killing people?
