Sta.sh
I was wandering if you could let me us this image for an Android game called "Kingdoms of Myth", it's turn based strategy game based on a fantasy World. You can find a little bit more info in this rough website made by my colleges [link] (Sorry for the bad English). Of course you will have full credits of your work and link to your webpage if you want
Lot of thanks for your time
So Sparta had two kings, to keep an eye on each other. Athens had “democracy” (though not in the sense that we understand the term). Another city-state had a form of Communism, where all the land was redistributed every 20 years, to keep anyone from getting too rich. And so it went.
and Sparta, well... Proto-eugenism, a distant root of fascism maybe...
And looked back in the past, you have the persian, a kingdom of order, law - a constitution I am told, and a refined culture... Granted, Orientalism show at times, but also Eurocentrism, in the views.
Things are less black and white, and the east gave as much as the west - the greeks admitted at times themselves, like the respect given to distant southern Egypt.
They were not the actual rulers of the city-state, because they had to inform and listen the Ephors, 5 men elected by the people who's rensponsibility were to supervise the two kings.
The one king was the king of war issues. Leonidas was that guy.
The other king - Leotichidas in our case - had the rensonsibility of the usual city issues - something like the modern politicians doing in our days. The real politicians in Sparta were the Ephors though... The two kings had great power, but the ephors had to confirm their decisions.
Leonidas decide to go and fight at Thermopylae only with his personal guard of 300 Spartans, because he had the right to move only them without the Ephors agreement, and not the whole Spartan army.
Hope that helps man.
