The Institute of Male Unions has its roots in the distant era of the formation of human society. The question of him and the rites and customs associated with him has been poorly studied. The Dorian masculine union, the main structural element of the Dorian polis, in miniature reproduces the historical type of polis in general. Sparta is the only example of male alliances coexisting with the state in the true sense of the word. The organization of male unions is inextricably linked with the custom of sissities - collective dinners of citizens - the main principle underlying the policy of restricting private property and strengthening community property, the most important means of strengthening discipline and an instrument of everyday control over the lives of citizens.
