Great?

Spartan or Athenian?Who said it?

Male children are of great value to the city-state. Females are of little use.

Our beautiful Parthenon stands atop the Acropolis.

Our military power is our most important asset! Art, music, and drama – these are the beauties

of life. We must take time to ask questions about our

world, to wonder about good and evil. A baby boy born with something wrong will only

weaken our society and has no reason to live. Our constitution will give all free men the rights

of citizenship. We will use our strength to cut off our enemy’s

supplies and starve their people.
