I think a lot of the confusion stems from the fact that the Spartans were at their peak before written history came about. So what we have codified clearly is their laborious downfall, with none of the ascendancy.
How the hell do you read this article on mobile? It does the fade away thing that paywalled articles do but as far as I can tell there's no way to get past it.
Was able to read it with no issues on Firefox, I do have ublock installed on it, I don't know if that has something to do with it.
Interesting, thanks for sharing
Agreed. I read this with great interest. A take I'd not heard before.
