They also don't mention Sparta being a city of beligerent assholes who hosed with all the other Greek city-states on the reg. It's weird to put that in a modern context, it would be like if Connecticut invaded Rhode Island.

Being a bunch of assholes isn't that big a deal to me. Sparta sucked because it never really progressed as a civilization and pretty much looked like any other lovely village, and boy or girl it was pretty much open season on your butthole once you hit your teens. Being a spartan would suck, but they definitely whooped some Persian rear end since those retards rolled up with wicker shields and poo poo. (It's been a while since I read about the Persian war, I might be off)

The Spartans also showed up to Thermopylae out of embarrassment from sitting out Marathon and letting the faggy Athenians kick the poo poo out of the Persians. Not to mention that the Athenians again made the real difference in the war by winning at Salamis.

To think Greece is where the rest of western civilization sprung from. Nowadays they're a bunch of worthless, loafing, Nazi electing, tax cheats, who can't get a loan.

Frosted Flake posted:Sparta also ended the Golden Age of Classical Greece though the Peloponnesian War. Good, the only way the fall of Greece could have been better is if the Perisans crushed them in the first place. Ironically Persia basically bankrolled the Spartans during the Peloponnesian War because Sparta's economy barely existed. Fister Roboto posted:They also don't mention Sparta being a city of beligerent assholes who hosed with all the other Greek city-states on the reg. It's weird to put that in a modern context, it would be like if Connecticut invaded Rhode Island. And they weren't even good at it. They were only capable of fighting brief defensive wars and succeeded in conquering like 1 neighbor who was somehow even shittier than they were. The rest of the time they lived in a state of perpetual fear that their helots were going to rise up any goddamn second. I have no loving idea why anyone lionizes Sparta

Because the 5-second description sounds badass and that's pretty much all people want. A warrior culture where men were trained basically from birth to be among the most hardcore soldiers in the world? Sounds loving cool. Its when you read a little more that it falls apart and you realize how hosed up Sparta was.

Why aren't these same people obsessed with Macedonians, Thracians or Illyrians? There were a lot of ancient people with better track records than Sparta.
