Dear Cousin Betty, The war here is getting challenging and harder every moment. But I have hopes that we are going to win and get it all over with. The Persians attacked the Ionians and because we have nothing against the Ionians they asked us to allied with them. But they also asked some Greek city-states for help. The Spartan army was going against the Persians, but one thing has to be clear the Persians didn’t attack us directly we were asked to ‘group up’ with the Ionians and with Greek…

In constant flux as new hoards are found and their analyses published, ideas regarding what motivated Greeks to begin striking metal pieces with stamps play an integral role in understanding archaic and classical Greece.

Maybe if they had planned accordingly and made sure that they would be properly financed then it would not have been such a catastrophe disaster.

The only reason the Athenian people put up with Alcibiades behavior…

What happens in the bleachers is that all the old football players talk about their greatest memories. This helps because it breaks the ice for other football players from different times to get to know one another. And maybe to get a few things off his chest such as “fifty thousand bucks in cash” which was offered to Neely to go to Tech this needed to be said a long time ago. This contributes to Neely’s recovery because he is surrounded by old Spartan football players and some of his close…

The City of Corinth In Acts 18:1 Luke provides an itinerary for Paul by writing "after these things (the events of Chapter 17) he left Athens, and went to Corinth." (All Scripture references are New American Standard Bible unless other wise noted). The cities of Athens and Corinth were only 50 miles apart but quite different.

The mutilation of the Hermae statues in 415 BC is one of the most controversial scandals during the Peloponnesian war. Many suspicions was raised, as Athenians believed this was a scheme plotted to discourage the Sicilian expedition and to subvert Athen’s democracy. For this reason, many accused Alcibiades, whom was a rising political figure known for his undemocratic character and habits to be the main perpetrator behind this scandal.
