So what do you know about the politics of ancient Greece?

duovamp · 12-14-2007, 12:18 AM

Specifically concerning religion, but other areas are welcomed.

Trotskilicious, I'm lookin' at you.

Trotskilicious · 12-14-2007, 07:52 AM

i avoided greeks and romans because they've been done to death and i don't care

duovamp · 12-14-2007, 08:45 AM

Yeah well I'm done with the paper, so I can't even make use of your not-help. Thanks a lot!

But even if the Greeks and Romans weren't done to death, then you still wouldn't like them anyway?

Trotskilicious · 12-14-2007, 08:47 AM

you really haven't figured out how fucking useless this shit is yet have you

duovamp · 12-14-2007, 08:57 AM

If I ever get into a political argument it might have some relevance, but other than that I never expect anything I learn that doesn't directly pertain to my future career to be without any importance. I'd just like to know some stuff for that end alone. Who cares if you never use it?

What do you mean by the "politics concerning religion" and what period of ancient Greece?

duovamp · 12-14-2007, 02:26 PM

From 750 BC to 500 AD. I wrote it about how religious beliefs affected Greek politics in said time period.

jczeroman · 12-14-2007, 02:31 PM

what the.... technically 500 AD would not be considered antiquity. Also, the Hellenistic period (last truly "Greek" period) ended around 100BC. After 100BC, you have Roman religion and broader pantheism in Greece. Before that you have a wide number of things. I would narrow down your period and also be go for a specific policy or something.

duovamp · 12-14-2007, 02:35 PM

That's the range we were given, I didn't write on that whole period. The text defined the area as "roughly early Greek through early medieval" but I just generalized for the hell of it.

Trotskilicious · 12-14-2007, 05:37 PM

that is a very broad time period

BumbleBeeMouth · 12-15-2007, 12:14 AM

indeed, early medieval even spans the byzantine empire, albeit in its early incarnations. That was greek, essentially.

Trotskilicious · 12-15-2007, 11:49 AM

i just fell asleep

you know what's cool the mosquito coast

duovamp · 12-15-2007, 12:27 PM

Could they have given it a more unappealing name?

The internets just told me that it comes from Miskito, though. Why do you mention it?

Trotskilicious · 12-15-2007, 01:02 PM

fuck you!!!!!!!!!

duovamp · 12-15-2007, 01:08 PM

dean_r_koontz · 12-15-2007, 01:18 PM
