It is remarkable how timeless the Speech of Archidamus is. One could easily imagine the Spartan King were speaking to a modern occupied territory, itching for a revolt. King Archidamus urges the Spartans to head caution when entering war with Athens. He has “seen too many wars” [pg 25, 80] The battles he has witnessed in his lifetime have swayed him of any naive fascination with war. He has learned that violence begets violence, so one should only enter a battle they are prepared to win. Archidamus explains that Athens is stronger in terms of wealth, military might and political power. If the Spartans take the offensive route under these circumstances, they will surely loose both in combat and in terms of public relations. [pg 26, 81] Furthermore, Archidamus explains later that Athens had agreed to mediation, making any fight that Sparta were to start an unlawful preemptive attack. [pg 28, 85] The King assures his people he is not blind to their suffering, he just envisions better ways of ending it. [pg 26, 82] One of these methods would be to create partnerships with other nations who would lend armed forces and capital to the cause. To be done in tandem with confederation would be the accumulation of Sparta’s assets. Archidamus predicts that under these circumstances, Athens could be motivated to surrender. Under the very different circumstances from which he is speaking, the King pushes to avoid war at all costs citing that “complaints can be resolved, whether they are

Socrates then tells the story of Troy and how Hector son of a king heir to the throne kills Achilles friend Patroclus, during the battle. This made Achilles very vengeful; his mother the goddess warned Achilles if you kill Hector out of vengeance you too will die. Achilles said to go home would be a coward move and it will be a great disgrace. What Socrates is trying to say even

The Persian Wars (499-479 BC) put the Greeks in the difficult position of having to defend their country against a vast empire with an army that greatly outnumbered

In Sparta, a state that has become the proverbial homeland of tradition in the eyes of the Greeks, change was never a welcome guest. Thus Thucydides’ account of the way the Spartans voted for the Peloponnesian war in 1.87 is surprising and almost alarming: after the traditional vote by shouting, the ephor Sthenelaidas, on the pretext that the first vote was too close to discern, called for a second one. For this second vote, following the ephor’s suggestion, the Spartans did not vote by shouting, as they had always done in the past, but rather “standing up they divided themselves, and those to whom the treaty appeared to have been violated turned out to be in the

“It’s time that you give me the throne, or I kill you, brother,” screamed Poseidon.

Mark Saw a glimpse of Hades and he thought,“I finally saw a God, but why Hades, he is evil!” suddenly Mark ran out of the cave hoping he wasn't seen or heard. He went to the Temple of Zeus to pray to Zeus and tell him Hades was planning something bad.

Eventually, Zeus comes to the conclusion that he must make a statement, so no one ever tries such an act of peasantry again.

“Hush, Aleixo. Do not say such words. He will punish you,” Mother whispered, as if fearful Hades, the God of the Underworld-- Son of Titan Cronus and Rhea, would materialize and snatch them away their world into a place of infinite fire and destruction.

One day Hades the god of the Underworld was getting bored of ruling in the depths of Earth, while his brother Zeus is the ruler of the sky and the surface of the Mortal world. He sent for his most trusted servant, General Deathron who has been the leader of Hades armies of the dead. After ten minutes, Deathron walks into the throne room and bows in front of Hades. What is needed of me, my king? Deathron asked. I want you to lead an army up to the Mortal world and claim it as my own. Hades replies to Deathron and smiles evilly. I shall leave at once my king, I won’t fail you. Deathron says to Hades, while walking away from the throne with his hand on his blood sword. When Deathron walks into the military, he yells out orders for the troops of

One day, however, Hades had a plan to destroy Zeus and his kingdom. Hades gathered all his followers and convinced them that Zeus was a traitor to his own people and was going to change the kingdom forever in the worst ways possible. Hades knew many of Zeus’s enemies and knew that they would all be willing to make Zeus suffer greatly. He sent his messenger out to call all of Zeus’s enemies to his kingdom to explain his plan. Hades knew that one of Zeus’s biggest weaknesses was his anger and with all the power he has, he has the ability to destroy all of the land with his bad temper.

Perseus, Macaria and Triton had arrived in the underworld to meet Hades. Macaria said to her father, “I need your help father to be able to attack Kronos.” Hades said, “ You do not need my help, because it is not my responsibility.” The three walked away and prepared to go to Tartarus. Before they left Perseus sharpened his sword, Triton prepared his trident and Macaria

On Mount Olympus, Zeus was talking to the Greek gods. He was broad-chested, he had curly hair all over his face and head. He also wore an olive wreath on his head, with a bolt of lighting in his firm grasp. “I have found a new land, filled with rich natural resources. We will take over that land, and we will expand our empire so large that it would take years to see the whole thing. Let us be off at once.” The problem with Zeus however, was that he had the most uncontrollable greed.

Athena requested, “We ask for your assistance almighty Hades. We hope that you can help the denizens on the earth and provide fake information to Zeus to help.”
