Weren’t the spartinas gay child molesters?
It’s been a while since I read about them, but they were really fucked up dudes.
The child molestation was disturbingly common in many cultures back then.
As for the gay. They would still typically have wives and children, but would bath each other and have sex before battle. I'd call them bi.
So yes, republicans.
The Republicans wouldn't make the short march from Sparti to the valley, let alone do anything with their dress up gear if they managed to get there.
90% of their population were slaves and they were incredibly cruel to them. Sparta was so backwards that Athens almost sided with Persia.
Is it any surprise the Republicans look up to them?
Part of me wants to argue, that at the time it was normal
The other part reminds me, that we live now.
It was not normal then either.
How so? Were they ostracized or persecuted for it?
Fits right in with this admin.
Yes, those things happened there. But women could also own property in Lakonia. It was progressive in some ways, barbaric in others.
Like all things context is important. They may have been better or worse in a number of ways that don't fit in to a 30s tiktok analysis
They were incredibly gay
