city states werent rural

very populated centers like greece werent rural

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM the desertification was there even before the Aswan damm

all of the wold was overwhelmingly rural until the industrial revolution

Greece was rural

greece was too shitty for farming

most certainly

to be anywhere near as rural

as your typical place

most of their eco WAS farming

I think it happened somewhere in the medieval area

most of their food was traded for or fished tbh

least the city's food

they didnt have a ton of land either

yes, city trades with countryside

and what they did have wasnt the best quality

for food

but most places are not cities

they also trade with foreign cities

and fish

and city states own vast lands for farming

Athens was an exception

relatively vast maybe

because it was basically an Imperial overlord over oher city states

and took their shit

athens only had an empire for a small period of time

yes

before they got raped by sparta

and became a minor regional power again

but they are the only example of a really big, and largelly non-rural society in Anceinet Greeece that I know of

there were sevaral non rural places tho

venice of course

the rest is very much rural

and ur full o shit

go read the Iliad

i have read the illiad tbh

Their CULTURE emphasized the virtue of farming ur own food

which is why so many lazy cunts werent farmers?

i spose it depends on the city state

spartas slaves did the farming

yes
