it doesn't change the fact that greeks did lik to talk a lot about "freedom" all the time, they probably didn't consider slaves people thou.
Was 300 a good representation of the greco-persian war? they made persians way too evil to my tastel

universalism wasn't yet a meme like it is today. You could very well claim your city was based on freedom for your people and have slaves on the side.

They took poorly trained slaves and made them walk into slaughter, in real life.

Ancient Greeks were just Based and Redpilled. "Freedom" didn't mean "lmao yolo", it was the chance to live a good, virtuous life according to certain rules, and even then it was for the worthy few. "Democracy" itself isn't that different than Aristocracy, but nowadays shitskins wanna make you believe Greeks wanted niggers to come and vote in their lands.

I still think this freedom speech is more of an american thing.
hell,you have a literall scene when the king has to ask for permision to go to war.

a good representation of the propaganda that would have been shared by the greeks
this guy gets it
John Hall
that has nothing to do with freedom of speech and more with consulting omens, which was a fairly common practice. Hell, even the romans tore out the guts of small animals to find out whether or not they should fight a battle.
Matthew Gomez
Mh yes, the empire that outlawed slavery for the most part would definitely do such a thing.

and this. think about it: we're talking about something that happened 2500 years ago in a pop culture context. that's as close to the ideal of being immortal that the ancient greeks coveted so much as one can get.
