>>13553729The Spartans were the biggest larp in history. Everything we believe about them is from Athenian laconaboos who were exactly the same as boomers with molon labe merch today.
They didn't have cool Corinthian helmets, they had cheap conical iron caps. They weren't even proper Greeks. They lived in fear of revolt by their Brazil tier slave population of helots (literally "greeklets.")
They never lost because they refused to fight unless certain they would win, and pretended "the gods" told them not to if they didn't. Their strategy in the Peloponnesian war was basically loot and burn like niggers and let their allies do all the work.
Oh, and they also allied with THE FUCKING PERSIANS! So forget all that Greek solidarity "dis iz THPARTA" bullshit.
And like Africans, they never made anything worth having which is why everyone until the Romans left them alone in their worthless backwater, so forget about "come and take it," it was more like "nah, you can keep it!"
