Feel free to add common myths about the East that you’d like cleared up. Or how you’ve already cleared it up. It might help me or another reader.

The reason Sparta could only send 300 was because they needed to keep most of their army in Sparta to keep the helots, their slaves, from rebelling.
It’s almost like slavery is inherently unsustainable.
They also had a shrinking class of Spartiates, because spartan citizens had to pay for their own training & equipment.
Between that, the slavery, and certain sexual proclivities I’d need to CW, I’m starting to think Sparta was the ancaps’ dream.
They would call it DEI woke though since Sparta Women were OG Girlbosses (because they became big landladies due to the high death rate of Spartiates).
