bs2<p>7Y.O.: ‘Why are we here?'”<br>NC: There are two views about that which go back to <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/ClassicalGreece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicalGreece</span></a>, maybe before. One is we are here for the same reason that rocks and trees and grass are here. That is just the way the <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/RulesOfNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RulesOfNature</span></a> worked out, and they happened to lead to us just like they led to other things.<br>&gt; The other answer, which goes back to Aristotle actually, is that everything in nature has a purpose and a function...then <a href="https://mstdn.jp/tags/Aristotle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aristotle</span></a> drew some pretty ugly conclusions from that...</p>
AskHistorians<p>Is the modern, popular perception of ancient Sparta influenced by Plato's Republic? There is undeniably a link between Plato's writings and the modern perception of ancient Sparta, and /u/Llyngeir delves into the important context! <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/ClassicalGreece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicalGreece</span></a><br><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/15vq4fk/is_the_modern_popular_perception_of_ancient/jx8ygq3/?context=3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/com</span><span class="invisible">ments/15vq4fk/is_the_modern_popular_perception_of_ancient/jx8ygq3/?context=3</span></a></p>

AskHistorians<p>What did Thucydides really believe? It’s a tricky question, but /u/Thucydides_Cats rises to the occasion and takes a REAL look at Thucydides speeches to understand the man behind the words. <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/ClassicalGreece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicalGreece</span></a><br><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/13mo3aa/what_did_thucydides_really_believe/jsuqm6k/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/com</span><span class="invisible">ments/13mo3aa/what_did_thucydides_really_believe/jsuqm6k/</span></a></p>
AskHistorians<p>Were Sacred Bands a general Greek unit or was it specific to Thebes? Modern pop culture loves “named” elite units, but @roelkonijn is ready to pick out what we actually know about this Thebian unit, and how that name became associated with them. <a href="https://historians.social/tags/ClassicalGreece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicalGreece</span></a><br><a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1501ypa/were_sacred_bands_a_general_greek_unit_or_was_it/js232et/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians</span><span class="invisible">/comments/1501ypa/were_sacred_bands_a_general_greek_unit_or_was_it/js232et/</span></a></p>
