ABOUT THE MOTION: This House would rather be a Spartan than an Athenian
Marking 2500 years since the battles of Salamis and Thermoplae, this debate should aim to settle the ancient hellenistic debate, argued over generations, which was the greater: Athens or Sparta?
ABOUT THE SPEAKER (Closing for the Proposition)
Jon Harvey is a recovering classicist and current comedic writer, having worked on shows such as The Thick of It, Yes Minister and also written for Private Eye. He has over 60 million hits on UA-cam and recently presented a Radio Four show about why we need to be more like the Ancient Athenian.
ABOUT THE CAMBRIDGE UNION: From its small beginnings as a debating society, the Cambridge Union is the oldest debating society in the world and the largest student society in Cambridge. The Union remains a unique forum for the free exchange of ideas and the art of public debate.
