Quote:I used to have a work colleague who was born and raised in modern Sparta, Greece, but he don't wear a dirty red cloak or carry a big round shield. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if he bore as much similarity to a bloke who fought at Thermopylae as one of those 4th C ones would have.The descendants of the Spartans are supposedly living in Mani, not Sparta itself nowadays, although some of them may have moved back....!
They definitely have some similarities to the blokes that fought at Thermopylae... and see their flag below
Tan e epi tas....with the shield or on it....:wink:
Quote:Last time i checked Peiraeus (yesterday night) i saw no triremes in the port :wink:It would be lovely if there were...... :wink:

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
