Thomas R. Martin
“In this way, the Spartans erected a moral barrier between themselves and the helots to justify their harsh treatment of fellow Greeks. For all these reasons, the helots hated the Spartans bitterly.”
Thomas R. Martin, Ancient Greece: From Prehistoric to Hellenistic Times

Edmond P. DeRousse
“You don't have to be rich and famous to have adventures!”
Edmond P. DeRousse
