And I'm sat here thinking "how do you propose to understand how these people viewed the world if you don't take their perspective?"

@fvriovs a fantastic series

I love it so much

Nice, I'm gonna put it on now, thanks for the incidental recomendation

Like people who say Rome and Athens didn't operate anything democratic because women couldn't vote. That's just projecting modern expectations onto historical civilisations and then degrading their status because they had their own views.

Hearing the true history of rome without revisionist lenses has been great

It is fun Spooky.

It's a chronological order so start from the first.

Sparta had female biased inheritance laws and that destroyed sparta

fuckin women, amirite?

Sparta went from mustering thousands of soldiers to just a few towards the end of it

If I remember rightly, when a Spartan man died his estate and property went to his wife, who then divided it equally between her sons and daughters. The daughters inherited from their mother and then from their own husbands and combined the wealth and passed it onto *their* daughters,

Repeat that over generations.

And then there was a small group of women with like, most of the wealth.

Even the kings of Sparta had to go to them for loans.

The spartan heresies

The richest people in sparta

Athens had a much more based system.

Athens was full of pedos tho

A woman's dowry was her inheritance, and if a woman was the sole heir of her father, she was married to her uncle or something.

is he still going on

Geomoroi means ass pain for those of you who don't know

The Russian term for pain in the anal region

That's... random, kek

you literally have a "pain in the ass" role

check his role dude

Geōmoroi, also called agroikoi, or Geōrgoi, class of citizens in ancient Greek society. In 7th-century-BC Attic society, geōmoroi were freemen, generally peasant farm holders, lower on the social and political scale than the eupatridae, the aristocracy, but above the dēmiourgoi, the artisans. The geōmoroi were ineligible for any major political or religious post but had the right to attend sessions of the Assembly. In 580 BC, three geōmoroi shared the archonship (magistracy) with five eupatridae and two dēmiourgoi.

Nah I say it means ass pain

I mean I am an ass man.
