Spartan Parties
I wonder what it was like back in the old days of
You respond with a “yea” and he totally gets excited because bread and water is all he eats and he’s about to get both! To express this he starts jamming on his air lute or whatever instrument they had back then. A party must be like that, but times a bunch of people. Everyone walks by a bread table and a bowl of water. The only music is some dude singing and another dude on some drums made from rocks.
The women in the society must have thrown similar parties, only mostly made up of women instead of men. Totally a party I’d love to be at, if not for the tons of aggressive women who made a habit of being able to destroy men. In retrospect I don’t know much about Spartan society, let alone how the women entertained themselves. What is a society that produces almost nothing besides war going to share with the generations over 2000 years later besides romantic notions of bread parties? Honestly, I can’t think of a thing!
