    • @jonahhudson2052
      @jonahhudson2052 Рік тому

      This is a long one.
      So, the ancient Greeks tell a story called "The Return of the Heracletae" which literally means "the return of the children of Hercules".
      During the bronze age, the Dorians (aka western Greek linguistic group) were forced from the Peloponnese by an illegitimate coup into "the mountains" (where exactly is unknown). after the bronze age collapse, the Dorian Invasion (aka the return of the Heracletae) begins, where they take the Peloponnese back.
      So, Sparta saw the helots are treasonous cowards who deserved what they got for the slights of their ancestors.
      Despite this, Sparta was their home, just that they were forever forced to put down the lesser slaves. To the average city state, Sparta was just another state with slaves. Also, not many states knew much about the Spartans, since they were very isolationist.
      And even if these states knew about it, the choices for a Greek city state is "thinks they're better than us" or "thinks they're better than us and is actively exploiting us"
      And finally, the Spartans never really had a distinct desire to overextend and create a huge empire, as they saw the growth of their state to be detrimental to the control the Spartans had over the helots, like most apartheid states. Take, for example, what he says in the beginning: Sparta signed a treaty with Persia relatively soon. Meanwhile, Athens pursued a total victory. And consider what Sparta does with their total victory in this war (spoilers)
      I hope this helps

    I know this is real late. But WhatIfAltHist made an excellent video recently about the decline of Greece and Rome and mentioned Athenian atrocities such as this one. TLDR: the decline was a combination of declining religiosity, lower birthrates, and the hyper-rational worldview held by the Greeks. Heavily recommend his video.
