PARALLEL LIVES (Complete works. All volumes) Quotes

“The magistrates from time to time sent out into the country at large the most discreet of the young warriors, equipped only with daggers and such supplies as were necessary. In the day time they scattered into obscure and out of the way places, where they hid themselves and kept quiet; but at night they came down into the highways and killed every Helot whom they caught.”
― Bernadotte Perrin, PARALLEL LIVES (Complete works. All volumes): The lives of the great heroes of Greece and Rome who inspired Shakespeare and Western history
