athens vs sparta
It has been a long time since we have spoken. That is unfortunate. The conflict our polis' have had may be the reason for this. How are the children, and how is life? I am mystified of your reasons for being so proud of being a simple spartan. Being a citizen of athens carries great respect and priviliges. As the leader in olive production, we citizens of Athens ensure our needs for any commodities are met. Athens is prospering thanks to our rich olive producing soil. Maybe if your soil wasn't drenched in the blood of each other, Sparta would be world renowned for agriculture. My dear friend, you are not allowed any luxuries. I have 2 estates and many fine women here in Athens, I drink fine wines and soak in the sun all day. You may think that i am weak, and i am soft
Once a week i enjoy a delightful play at the amphitheatre, you should really come and visit me, the presentation is rivalled only by the fantastic stories. Hope to hear from you soon my dearest friend, . Since this is peace time, Athens is veryt appealing, you Spartans are just waiting for something to errupt, just so that your city state will be needed. , but i know i just know how to live with luxury. Your system of Oligarchy is a system set up to be abused, but it may be appropiate for your violent and barbaric state. I would have to say it is a shame you don't get to see your children grow up, what exactly are they being taught in these state run schools you speak so highly of? My children are being tutored thouroughly . How old are you now friend, must be around 35, well dont worry, only 25 more years before retirement, hahaha. Your army may be strong and well trained, but it is so small! I wish Sparta will prosper in the future, maybe this will prevent any attempts of attacking peaceful athens. There are many people who say our democracy will outlast even greece. Life is sophisticated and graceful in Athens but you mock us for supposedly having no bravery, patriotism or courage, who needs these when you are peaceful and wealthy? The only strength your puney army of 8,000 has is intimidation, and nothing more. If you have any spare money to invest, i would recomend that you give it to me, we have some marvelous pottery shops opening, all they need is some funds to get started. Athens is a far superior city state, violence is for barbarians, or should i say spartans. I can only afford three for my entire family. Have the perioeci attempted to revolt again. I keep on telling you that tis wouldn't happen if you werent out numbered ten to one.
