Athens vs Sparta, Sokratis and ancient Greece part 1 HQ
????????? ????????? ancient civilization ATHENS and Sparta were both Greek cities and their people spoke a common language. In every other respect they were different. Athens rose high from the plain. It was a city exposed to the fresh breezes from the sea, willing to look at the world with the eyes of a happy child. Sparta, on the other hand, was built at the bottom of a deep valley, and used the surrounding mountains as a barrier against foreign thought. Athens was a city of busy trade. Sparta was an armed camp where people were soldiers for the sake of being soldiers. The people of Athens loved to sit in the sun and discuss poetry or listen to the wise words of a philosopher. The Spartans, on the other hand, never wrote a single line that was considered literature, but they knew how to fight, they liked to fight, and they sacrificed all human emotions to their ideal of military preparedness.

um i think it was “either come back with your shield or on it” meaning either win or die fighting
This is *absurdly* inaccurate. The war did *not* begin in 431; it was begun decades before by Sparta, which feared the spread of Athenian democracy and wanted to keep its Peloponnesian League in tact in order to maintain its Messenian slaves in subjection. By 440 Sparta had decided to break the truce and invade Athens but were voted down by their allies. Commercial interests played almost no role in the conflict.

@bettiinaah the woman were placed in high regaurd because they were life givers. and if you read the history. the spartans did lose one battle. when they came home the woman told them to come home on their shields or they would be the ones who would go in to battle next time. the woman pretty much ran sparta.
@jbond5150 in Sparta they WERE, compared to other countrys they WERE.. u can compare it with a woman in America and in the middle east…
@jbond5150

@spacefruitful women werent citizens.
@spacefruitful females were not considered citizens though ..
oh really “every Athenian citizen had a say in the running of their state”? umm you mean unless they were female, right? don’t embellish history for entertainment value, Liam.
@Torbon8372 Greece is now officially part of the 3rd world.
Nothing is safe in the 3rd world.
Just ask the giant statues of Buddha that used to be in Afghanistan.

m420james, learn history and logic. Your comment is quite pathetic.
They were far more than stupid.
?????????? ? ??????, a city without walls.
They were the most practical minds in Greece, and knew how to think logically, in order to achieve their goals with little effort
and cassualties.
If you read Xenophon, you’ll realise that those men were perhaps more free than the Athenians, and perhaps the whole world.
But you’re young and thus excused.
