In Greek mythology, Sparti (Gr. Σπαρτοί Spartoí, litt. "men sown", from σπείρω speírô, "to sow") are a mythical people.
They sprang up from the earth when Cadmus sowed the teeth of the dragon of Ares. They fought each other until only five of them remained: Æchion ("snake"), Udeus, Chthonius ("from Earth"), Hyperenor and Pelorus. They helped Cadmus to build Thebes. They were supposed to be the ancestors of Theban nobility: in reference to it, Epaminondas bore a dragon on his crest.
Sparty the Spartan is Michigan State University’s fearless and loveable mascot, a figure known throughout the state of Michigan and recognized across the nation as well.
Sparty is the heart of Michigan State, forever supporting its teams, bringing smiles to young and old and continually uplifting all who meet him.
Sparty is also a three time national champion mascot competing at the UniversalCheer Association Nationals Competition in Orlando, Florida.
