Would a Viking beat a Spartan?

It's a classic "who would win" debate, but most experts lean towards Spartans in a disciplined, set-piece battle due to their superior training, heavy armor (bronze), and the impenetrable phalanx formation, while Vikings might win in chaotic, mobile, or raiding scenarios using axes, surprise, and better ships, though their lighter armor was a disadvantage against heavy spears.
