Fucking 300 isn’t a reliable source bra

you seem to not see what I am typing because I clearly said THEY ALLIED WITH PERSIOAN SOMETIMES

that does not make them Persian

Becoming a colony is a lil more then becoming an ally

They were directly governed or even created by persia for periods

they were still ethnically greek and back then it was mostly about ethnicity and ideals

^ yuh

They didn’t really have a concept of ethnicity and it didn’t consistently extend to other states

>greeks didn't have a concept of ethnicity

are you retarded

ying

ying

read Plato's the republic

Not in the way you people are describing

he was a greek from that era and laid out how a republic can work

yes in the way we are describing, and ethnic collective of Europeans instead of Semites like the Persians.

Persian and meditation are not the same ethnicity.

Ok so I've never heard of this ancient Grecian collapse you mention sound 600-500 and a quick search brings up nothing

What are you talking about?

Can’t recall that being mentioned in the republic. Best I can recall is the metallic classes

Not an ethnicity thing though

Ethnicity is a relatively modern concept

So your book which is not the republic says the republic says it

You see the issue here

Did a quick look and funny enough at least in my translation ‘ethnicity’ doesn’t even appear

which volume do you have?

it's sectioned into multiple volumes

which do you have?

brb

Hey, good thing all commentaries say exactly the same thing as the source material and can be innately trusted when shown by randoms on the net otherwise. Ebook I’ve got is a compilation of the volumes. I got a flight tho so I’m also out

Also given Plato saw oligopolies as the optimal form of govt your own commentary would seem to infer a middleground of homogeneity and diversity

The problem with the quote from your book is that it doesn't demonstrate the point you are making

Persia will rise again

Philia doesn't have to mean ethnic homogeneity.

Just quickly, if you want to keep claiming your citing a volume of the republic there @Friend of Greatest Ally I didn’t know Plato had so much to say on the French Revolution

Time travelling confirmed

Plato led the French Revolutionaries bravely against the 300 Persians at Thucydides pass

Did you never read history in high school?
