Today in class we talked about the fighting spartans. The greeks liked to fight people and were very aggressive. They started training boys to be fighters at the age of 7. Spartans were most feared for infantry. Infantry is when you fight on the land. They wore red so that when people would become wounded you would not be able to see the blood. The spartans were so focused on having warriors that if there was a child that would have a disability. The spartans were very into them being one group.
Athens had the best army. They used a trireme greatest weapon at the time. Ir was very fast and long It had three oars and used many people. The trime could easily destroy other ships. Then there was the phalanx which was like a tank made of humans.
Everything that Socrates questioned he used science and logic. He was the creator of the socratic method. He was charged for coruppting the young minds of athens and disrespecting the Gods. He said that they got it wrong and that he should be rewarded and not punished because he was helping Athens. He drank hemlock and that was his punishment.
