Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Davers’s words made Patroclus bite his lips.

Davers looked straight at him: "So my son-in-law will only make your future more rugged. Are you willing to marry Cynthia?"

Dave's voice just fell, Patroclus blurted out: "I am willing! I am willing to go to Cynthia as a wife! And I will set more merits to prove my ability to change the prejudice of others!"

Davers looked at the confident, full-spirited youth in his eyes, and his eyes showed a color of appreciation: "Tomorrow, I will hold a private dinner at home, inviting you and your parents to a feast to discuss your engagement with Cynthia. Matters."

The Dani people were conquered, and the next step was to govern the land of this new conquest.

In the Dionysian Senate, the chief executives of the Dominican towns were elected by the elders and recognized by Daphus. Only the most powerful town in the debate, the chief executive of Lucerne, wears Foss never gave back until Anta Orris proposed a name that had been forgotten by everyone, Antonios, and was supported by most former mercenary veterans, Lukania veterans, and Brutier veterans. The veterans realized that this was inspired by Davis.

Antonios, who has been ill at home and who has not seen an outsider, received a letter of appointment signed by Daves from the court commander, Aristilas.

During this time, he was used to the house that was once very lively and then left behind. He was used to his father who was imprisoned and his brother was executed in the ear, crying in his ear, complaining that he did not help. In just a few months, Antonios has experienced so much. At this moment, looking at the appointment book in his hand, he can’t help but feel a lot of emotions. The eyes are moist: after all, King Davers has not forgotten him. From this appointment, it can be seen that Luce As the central town of Duni, Nia, who can serve as its chief executive, will only be a veteran who is highly regarded and valued by Davis.

"Your Majesty conveyed me a word." Aristilas said with a blank expression: "I hope you learn from the lessons of the past, reconcile Luciana and let the Dani people integrate into Diaonia as soon as possible."

"I will not let my knees down!" Antonios said excitedly.

He declined the invitation of a former mercenary veteran such as Capps, Felicius, and Amintas to hold a celebration party for his comeback, and in the early morning of the next day, only two followers were quietly I rushed to Lucernia to take office.

The brother of Sparta King Agassius led the Spartan army and marched north without hesitation until the spring of the second year (ie the eleven years of the Kingdom of Dionia, BC) 382 years), arrived at the Kalkidike Peninsula, and received warm welcome and great assistance from King Macedonia Armintas. He provided a large number of cavalry. After winning two battles, Tait Tias entered Under the city of Olympus. However, during the siege, he was attacked by the Kalkidike Allied reinforcements supporting Olympus. The Spartan army was defeated and its commander Tate Tias was also killed.

The news reached Sparta and was shocked.

Agslaus is even more upset, even ill, and bedridden.

The Presbyterian Council decided after deliberation: Never compromise the Kalkidike League headed by Olympus, and continue to attack it until it is destroyed, otherwise it will not restore Sparta's prestige in Greece.

As a result, Sparta began to launch a war mobilization order against the allies of Peloponnese, preparing to convene a larger coalition to fight in North Greece, and the commander of the army was another Spartan king Agassipolis. .

During this time, the fall of Thebes made the Athenians feel uneasy. Therefore, for the exiles of Thebes, they were fully assisted to establish multiple shelters in the mountains between Attica and Piasia. However, although Athens is full of vigilance against Sparta, and is reluctant to be open to it, especially in the case of Sparta being so tyrannical, they only pay close attention to the movement of Spartans.

..........................................

There is a school called Akkadmi next to the holy forest of Academia on the Kefisos River in the northwestern suburbs of Athens.

The courtyard stands on the banks of flowing rivers, grassy plants and flowers. The garden gate is a quaint arch with the words "not knowing the geometry, not allowed to enter."

In a small pavilion in the school, a dozen young people sat around and listened carefully to a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man has a broad forehead, deep eyes, and wide shoulders. Although he is not too tall, he is more burly, but gives a gentle and quiet temperament. He is the famous Greek scholar Plato.

Plato's family is so prominent that he has been well educated since childhood. When I was young, I still loved the creation of poetry and drama until one day I met Socrates and other people at the poetry meeting. Plato was like a slap in the face, and it was a lot of things that I had been thinking hard and couldn’t find the answer. . So he put his poems on the spot and burned them in the fire. He worshipped Socrates as a teacher and turned from zeal for literary creation to philosophical research.

That year, Plato was 20 years old.

After Socrates was tried and eventually executed, Plato, who was extremely disappointed with the Athens government, began his travels. He went to Mecca, Asia Minor, Persia, Egypt, Cyrenaica, Sicily, and finally because of an accident. The event returned to Athens.

Plato is still very interested in politics because of the family, but Athens was politically conservative since the loss of Syracuse, and the factions were busy with disputes, which made him feel disappointed again. After long-term visits to other Greek city-states and countries outside Greece, he has increased his experience and knowledge. He also feels that it is not easy to manage city-states. There is no special knowledge of city-states, and there are not a group of like-minded friends. There will be no success, and it may cost the life. So after returning to Athens, with the support of friends, Plato founded the Akademi College, trying to cultivate a group of talents who understand philosophy, natural sciences, and ruling the country, and through them to change Athens and other Greek city-states. The status quo, indirectly to achieve their own political ideals.

The college has been established for five years now. Not only did many young people in Athens become his students, but also some young Gentiles came and worshipped under his door. Akademi College gradually became famous.

At this time, Plato said in a calm but magnetic voice: "...I have talked about yesterday. Why do I think that Wang Zheng is the best regime in the ancient times? Today, let me talk about why such a political council is declining?"

The youth immediately lifted their spirits and listened to them.

“Although Wang Zheng’s legislators always try to give the city’s rulers the best overall education, they are full of wisdom, able to use the true knowledge they have learned to identify things and take correct actions. But, just like animals and plants The growth and development are affected by time. The marriage and childbearing of people is also restricted by time. The legislators of the city state can not always rely on sensory observation and rational thinking, and always choose the best time for the city-state rulers to give birth. They sometimes make mistakes, so they don’t give birth to some children...

The rulers selected from these degraded descendants cannot be the best. After taking over the power of their fathers, they will despise the wise men in the city-state, despise music education and physical exercise, and even in the city-state. Young people are becoming less and less educated...so they and their descendants gradually lose the qualities that true rulers should have, losing the ability to distinguish between gold, silver, copper and iron, while iron and copper When gold and silver are mixed together, there is imbalance, inconsistency and disharmony. Once disharmony and inconsistency arise, it will cause war and hatred..."

The students fell into meditation.

After a while, a student asked: "Mr. Plato, what do you mean by... the marriage of inappropriate seasons, the mixture of descent and the loss of purity are the main reasons for the decline of Wang Zheng?"

"Ole Ass, your understanding is correct." Plato praised the student and then said: "In the event of a conflict, the two groups within the ruler will have different development directions, and the Copper and Iron Group tends to be private. Merger land houses ~www.novelmtl.com~ astringent gold and silver treasures; and gold and silver group still tends to virtue and traditional order because of their true wealth in their hearts. The two groups fight each other and then make some compromise . . . So they made the city's land and houses private, and turned former friends and supporters into border people and slaves... This led to the creation of a new political system, which is what I call honorary government."

The students are thoughtful.

One student asked in confusion: "How can Plato teach the right match at the right time?"

"Spiripus, this is a good question, you can hardly live with me." Although Plato said so, he said with a smile: "In fact, even the gods can't make the right match." Otherwise, it is impossible to have so many powerful monsters in ancient times. But after my long-term thinking, I have some understanding of this problem. I also elaborated in the book "Utopia", that is, let the excellent and Excellent people marry and breed at the best time.

What is a good person? Not only for city-state men, but also for women. City-states must treat men and women equally and let women receive good education. Let them receive physical training, study literature, music, mathematics... In the process, we can find out that she is a gold species, a silver species, or an iron species, a copper species, and choose a combination of excellent and excellent, but not too Fertility has long been done.
