Why does Ancient Greece seem like such a comfy time period?

>>2707712
it was an advanced civilization in a simpler time period.

Because you could butt blast little slave boys

Because you have autism.

It really wasn't, not everyone was Athens tier, not everyone was also a citizens, and the city states got into frequent wars with one another.

So? You have no way of knowing what they felt back then. They were Greeks, they probably loved war.

because centuries of idealization has made it seem so

because you imagine yourself as a citizen not designated boypussy

>>2707712
Because, in many ways, it was. People were getting more prosperous.

>>2707712
Because you always imagine yourself as a rich land owning man rather than the other 90% of the population.

It sounds boring as fuck to me.
I would rather have rome or the ottoman empire.

>all those different people being comfy together

You've spent too much time on /fit/

>>2707733
This.

>your city runs afoul a larger city
>gets conquered
>you get enslaved

Many such cases! Hardly comfy.

Middle Ages was comfier for common people. Yes, there wasn't anything like the Colossus of Rhodes and the Library of Alexandria around, but at least you had a degree of humanity, the Church more or less protected you, and you weren't enslaved if your faction lost a war (unless you lived in Eastern Europe, of course).
