At age 60, they could "retire" completely to 'home guard' and training the young men and boys. But other than that, there was no such thing as retirement. If they went to war, their mothers would give them their armor, weapons and shields. Then they would tell their son(s) "Come home with this shield covered in glory with your enemies' blood, or upon this shield covered with your own. Do not come home without it". they where 30 not 60 i just took a quiz and got 3/4 because the anwser was 30 not 60
