THEY ARE ALL GREEKS!!!

Post by diogenes1 »

Please,I am very upset to see that there are messages here that insist to separate the State cities in ancient Greece from the greek people. Of course it is clear there were different goals if you consider them spotted in cities,but they proved in the greco-persian wars that they wanted to become away from the barbarian culture and their tyranny,Athenians died at marathon,Spartans died at Thermophylae,and so died Thebans,corinthians,focians,beotians,etc. ATG himself wanted to revenge the destruction of Athens by Xerxes. Please,is it so difficult to understand that we have our culture today as an inheritance from those who gave their lives to keep the freedom above all things? As a brazilian,so far away from any regional quarrel,I beg you,stop minimizing the greatness of them all!!!
