Would you rather be a land-owning citizen in Greece or Persia circa 475 BC?
>>1822389
Greece.
Persians are faggots.
>>1822389
Depends on which city state, but probably Persia desu.
>>1822389
Greece if Thebes. otherwise Persia
>>1822389
Persia, only pedophiles and fedora tiers choose Greece.
>>1822744
So you admit you're a faggot, fedora kun?
Greece, if I get to be an Athenian, as around that time they started to evolve into the naval superpower of the time.
>>1822389
I'm a decent moral human being. So Persia.
>>1823058
Greeks were literal faggots
>>1822389
To participate in the governing of the Polis with my fellow citizens would be a most virtuous life indeed!
>>1822389
Where in Greece? Every city state had it's own laws.
So. Persia.
>>1823273
greece. chances of i seeing my 50s is much higher in greece where it is a taboo to judge victim's death and so on and so on. in persia i could get rekt by a satrap or some local faggot over some trivial issue.
>>1823864
That like almost never happened outside of some outliers. You could have the same shit happened to you by one of the various tyrants in the other Greek city-states.
Anyway as for OP I'd pick Persia, more cultures, more exotic peoples, more varied cuisines and the King's law is universal.
>boyfuckers
>or the first multicucktural shithole
the steppes of xiongnu
Is that even a question
>>1822409
It's like literally the opposite though, anon
>>1822389
Persia obviously. I'd be a cool zoroastrian horse archer with multiple qt wives.
What have the Persians ever done for us?
>>1824759
Every good story needs a villian
>>1824759
>Persia circa 475 BC

Kill yourself
>>1824759
Monotheism
Postal service
Horse archery
Chariots
Poetry
Central administration
Cyrus the Great is the Messiah
First real global empire
Be multicultural and tolerant (Achaemenids at least)
>>1824915
>he's never heard of Mesopotamia or Egypt
>>1824924
Persia is part of Mesopotamia.
>Egypt
>monotheism
It doesn't count when its a short lived fad, faggot.
>>1827252
Why the fuck would anyone choose Rome when it had already gone to shit?
>>1827264
It was always shit. The glorious Sassanids were always superior.
The only good Roman scholar was Seneca. He was special.
Greece for that sweet boipuccy
Could somebody create a Greek soldier variant out of this toad meme?
Would appreciate it, thanks.
Persian of course. Greeks are weak and poor.
>>1824942
Other way round, kiddo.
>>1828614
Wrong again, nigga.
>>1822389
Almost certainly Persia.
>>1823188
>Greeks were literal faggots
this is always tossed around yet there is no evidence to suggest homosexuality was present in all Greeks.
>>1822389
Greece obviously.
>>1830233
Well putting today's ideas from society to theirs just fucks everything up so you can say they were Faggots but it's not the same
>>1822389
Greece, no contest.
>Be Ancient Greek
>Invent philosophy and science as it would be practiced for the next two thousand years
>Set the foundation for all subsequent Western art and literature
>Get to fuck hot boy butts
>Don't associate with filthy barbaros
>Be Ancient Persian
>Adhere to the dogmatic principles of Zoroaster's dualistic cosmology which no one would still care about after the rise of Christianity
>Make art that still looks the same as Sumerian stone relief carvings from 2000 fucking years ago
>Don't get to fuck hot boy butts
>Bend over backwards to please the filthy barbaros
>Fail to conquer Greece twice in a row despite overwhelmingly favorable odds
>Get rolled by Alexander the Great
Tough choice.
>>1822389
Greece, specifically Athens.
>tfw you will never be an ancient Athenian and must live in a "democracy" where women can vote
>>1822389
Persia.
>>1822389
Persia, it had legitimate human rights, and a significantly less gay culture than those boy fucking oily queers,
>>1830233
>having to specify that it wasn't ALL Greeks that fucked children.
>>1830491
Some children fucked greeks
>>1830494
But who's the rapist, the actual rapist or the statutory rapist?
>>1824759
I can't tell if this is a "what have the Romans ever done for us?" joke or if you're serious
>>1830503
shut up queer
>>1830310
>dogmatic principles of Zoroaster's dualistic cosmology
That doesn't happen till the Sassanids codified and made orthodox Zoroastrianism you stupid faggot. Which is about 1700 years later.
>Get rolled over by Alexander the Great.
>Let's ignore the Corthinian War were a combined small Persian and Athenian fleet ass-reamed the Spartan armada.
>Or how by the end of the 5th century the Greeks were bending over backwards for the Great Persian King's peace.
>>1830926
>Let's ignore the Corthinian War were a combined small Persian and Athenian fleet ass-reamed the Spartan armada.
>Persians can only succeed when the Greeks help them out
Yeah, good point, Darius :^)
>>1830310
>rolled by Alexander the Great
except he basically converted hisself and his empire into Persian straight after
Greeks were faggots and massacred each other on a daily basis

>>1833258
Correct answer desu
>you will never see the sun rise in the Land of 1,000 Cities
>>1822389
Persia. Meritocracy was cool.
I'm Iranian. Fuck off, we're full.
I also took a genetic test and it seems that I have a <5 genetic distance to the standard Iranian ethnicity/sample size. AMA I guess.
