The peek of humanity was ancient Greece. If you say other wise, you're fucking retarded. It was all down hill after that.Although, I do believe there is still hope

Was pretty solid indeed but the constant infighting between city-states was a bit of a set back, retarded religion too ( sacrificing goats every now and then), even though it might have had the bonus of men always being strong and not cosmopolitan ( theorically the weakest men die in battle, and there are more women for the strong men).

Weakest men don't die in battle, they avoid it. Not everyone was a warrior you know. Also the worst soldier are generally used the least so the elite generally have higher casualty rates.
Greeks should be spending their time seeking for a job to pay their bills to the EU rather than LARP about the glorydays of past.

The only reason the Spartans were such badasses is because they had legions of slaves doing all the hard work.
When it came to doing anything other than war they were fucking clueless.
They couldn't so much as repair the wheel on a cart because they didn't know anything except war.
You're fucking retarded.

Ancient Greece =/= Sparta

Both cultures are fairly indistinguishable.

>no anime
i dont think so
>>131031999
i think you mistook my meaning. it's literally just a copy of an earlier work. i'm not saying greece > rome, i'm just making sure everyone knows it's not the original piece.
>>131031813
>implying Sparta was all of Ancient Greece
OP didn't really mention all of Greece desu. Greece was really just city-states, where Sparta had the best military power, and Athens were the ones who were responsible for most of the science, philosophy and maths.

Ancient Greece was degenerate as countless societies before it and many after it.

Freemen of fighting age were obligated to fight for the city, so indeed only the weak died most of the time.

Of course I do, I am degenerate, by /pol/ standards everyone is degenerate. Societies and empires are meant to grow and fall they are not much different from seasons
