Living in Hellas

[hellas1]

Hi all,

If I lived in Ellada (That's what real greeks call home btw), I'd live in Trikala.
Ahahahaahhahaahaahahhaahahah..............................ahahahahaahha

hellas1- A joke strictly meant for greeks now living in greece

Yia Sou Nomo Karditsis, Opa! Xpistos Avesti.

If you lived in ancient Greece where would you like to fight as a hoplite?You can mention your faction of HCS and -only- one ancient battlefield-a single historic battle-as the monumental place of your eternal bravery and glory.

[spirit_of_rob]

Ive merged your "living in Hellas" and "fighitng in Hellas" as they are similar and the living one was turning into this kind of discussion anyhow

[hellas1]

Hi all,

If I lived in Ancient Greece and it's affiliated territories, it would be Syracuse.

Why? Progressive thinkers lived there. Maybe hoplite tactics would've turned out to be more flexible thus wiping out the Romans prematurely!
Ahahahahhahaahahahaahahaahahahaahahahaahahaha

I think i would like to live in Sibari as hippie-tyrant and make love not war ! Happy feasts and dances all day,fantastic meals and various foods,wonderful music and nice chicks (hot greco-italian babes he he )That's life for a genuine ancient greek!! And let the foolish Spartans train themselves all day (in men's companions of course )..
-But,Sir,the problem remains and is called C R O T O N . . .
-Thank you General ! I know it ! I must do something about it ... quickly! Hire Mercs !!!

[Praetorian Captain]

What kind of fun is that? I personally (If i wanted to be a Hoplite) Would prefer being one of the Spartan Hippeis being ready and able for combat.

Rather have a short life of Glory then a long one in luxery.

Would prefer being one of the Spartan Hippies

I'd be a Thespian melanochiton.

[Praetorian Captain]

i spelled it wrong didn't i.

[Racer X]

Heh, it doesn't matter... it's eis, rather than ies.

Ip-ey-is

[mitchverr]

well i would live in thebes a nice little town with the sacred band guys who were even more suicidal in war than the spartans (of course they r gay but at least not pedofiles)

[Giorgos]

I would like to be a Thessalian Horse Rider. What helps me make my choise is the fact that i currently live right in the capital of Thessaly, Larissa.

What militaristic spirit is that? Peace ,dear friends, peace! MAKE LOVE NOT WAR ! Go Italy-south especially- and try to be kings-like Dionysius of Syracuse - and then ENJOY pleasures of life ! You can use mercenaries for your safety like the Carthaginians did ! Remember ! Life is short..

Spartans make love AND war... together no less

[mitchverr]

yea spartans were pedos tho and and all the women were lesbians the government made it so

[Giorgos]

I hope that the above post will be treated with the intellectual contempt that it deserves.

[Dannath]

If I was living in Sparta, I'd like to be a helot, its much better.

[Nikron]

Why Dannath, you want to be a helot coz they were autoctonous people or becouse they were not gays? Nice choice.

[Racer X]

Anyone who's read Xenophon or Plutarch's work that apply in Greek or in an unbiased translation would know that the Spartans banned homosexuality in their state...

Don't get your facts from Wikipedia or the history channel.

[Nikron]

Yes Racer x u r right, wikipedia is a not a web to be believed. I agree with you.

[thebigsalad]

I was under the impression that Plutarch stated that homosexuality was encouraged in Spartan barracks? And despite being one of my favourite historians, is Xenophon not somewhat biased?

The Spartan homosexuality/pederasty arguments are tiresome and unending.
