Quote:There were rich Spartans....
Yea, there allotment of land, Kleroi, was supposed to be equal for all, but a fool of an Ephor changed the rules to allow you to give your land to not only your children, but anyone. Soon the rich found themselves "gifted" of many Kleroi. Even without this poorer spartans would mortgage their Kleroi for cash.
Quote:And careful, I may have ancestors there , so less of the degenerate mongrels, if you please.......we came much later....
Actually, I was referring to "300" and the hatchet-jpb they did on the ephors. Though we are a bit degenerate these days.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
