Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"The following information is interesting." Davies gave a hint of irony: "A few decades ago, Dorias of the Spartan royal family (remember him, Spartan's famous King Keller Omenez’s elder brother, after failing to fight for the throne with his brother, was repulsed from Sparta on the grounds that Kleommenez sent him to colonize the Western Mediterranean. On the grounds of the direct descendants of Hercules, the Ericks were required to return the land, and the Ericks did not follow, so he took the troops to drive away the aborigines and established a colonial city near Ericks. At that time, Eriks had already become the religious center of the Carthaginians in Sicily. Of course, the Carthaginians would not let the aliens occupy their core areas, so they led the army to fight back. Doriaus and his people Most of them died in battle."

"This is from Herodotus' "History", which should be the fact." Ancitas is quite familiar with these historical events that occurred in the Western Mediterranean.

"Let's look at this one again. It was the unlucky Spartan Prince Dorias. It was supposed to be the Libyan coast that he tried to go west from Cyranica to Carthage before going to Sicily. The establishment of a colonial city on the grounds that Hercules killed the giant Anteus in Afrika, but was expelled by the Carthaginians... things like this, there are some in this document. Master Ansitanos As a historian, if you put aside your Greek identity and analyze this material from a neutral standpoint, you may be able to find the problem." Dafus reminded softly.

"Abandon the identity of the Greeks and stand on a neutral stand..." Ansitano murmured, seeming to understand.He took the information and started reading again. Gradually, his eyes brightened: "I understand! I understand! These Hercules activities in the Western Mediterranean provide us Greeks with colonies in the Western Mediterranean. Proof of rationalization!..."

Daveus smiled: "It should be said that in a distant era, Hercules was the first hero of our Greeks to explore the Western Mediterranean. And all the stories about him are combined to see his journey in the Western Mediterranean. , Many routes are repetitive, even unreasonable, and unnecessary, and it can be seen that some stories have actually happened (Daveus certainly cannot deny the existence of Hercules, because that would be to deny the identity of his beloved) , Some may be fabricated by the Greeks in later generations, so that they can provide moral support for their occupation of other people’s land and the establishment of a colonial city...” Daveus pointed to the material and said: “So the former Kumai people even The pigskin of the huge wild boar killed by Hercules was invited to Italy from the island of Peloponnese, and it was solemnly stored in the temple of Apollo in Kumai to prove the Kumai to the indigenous people. The legitimacy of the land occupied by humans... There are several arguments for the place where Hercules fought against the giants, one of which took place in Great Greece, and the Hercules has been in Carthage many times. There are legends on the land under control. I can only say that the Greeks who were eager to think of a new home in the Western Mediterranean were very brave and dared to fight the Carthaginians..."

And at the moment, Ancitaros is immersed in joy: "Adult, thank you for your wake up! I finally realized what Thucydides said,'Standing in a neutral position and writing true in an impartial attitude The wonderful feeling of history!"

"You should be able to do better than him! Once you get rid of the gap between the country and the race, you will look at history in a higher position, I believe you will write a great work!"

Davis's encouragement made Angitaro a little embarrassed: "Adult, I feel that I still have a gap compared to Thucydides."

Daveus did not continue to discuss with him on this issue, but talked about another issue: "Before you came, Kunogolata came, he told me that the angel of Athens came and visited him ..."

"The messenger of Athens has come to Turri?" Ansitanos was a little surprised. Then he thought of something and asked, "They are looking for an ally for this anti-Spartan alliance?"

"It should be." Daveus said: "Kunogolata also mentioned that there is a person you know in the Athens mission."

"Who?" Ansitanos moved.

"Lucias." Daveus stared at him and said slowly: "Kunogolata told me that he is a very talented person, but because he is not a citizen of Athens, it is not very good to live in Athens. , I hope I can try my best to save him, what do you think?"

"Stay! Of course you must stay with him!" Ancitanos said excitedly: "When I was young, I used to deal with him often. I know that he is very talented in prose rhetoric and speech! His article reads It’s natural but not boring. Although it’s simple, it’s not lacking in fun. It’s very easy to arouse people’s resonance. There are three articles in his family that I wrote when he was young. If he can stay, I suggest that he serve as the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, that is the best place for him to develop his talents."

Hearing this, Davers greatly appreciated Ansitanos in his heart. He did not have a trace of jealousy or defamation for Lucias's talents, but unreserved, heartfelt admiration, and even actively let the virtuous. This real state of imagination of real virtuosity made Davers awe, and he was ashamed of his tentative temptation just now. He coughed twice and said, "...Uh... the task of retaining Lucias. I’ll leave it to you. I can make a commitment here, as long as he is willing to stay, I will immediately propose to the Senate to share the land for him to come to Dionysian citizenship and become the Dionysian Academy Dean of the College of Liberal Arts."

"I will do my best to keep him here!" Ansitanos also promised without hesitation.

"If the Dionysian Union wants to become the center of the Western Mediterranean, it is not enough to have strong force, but it also needs a brilliant culture in order to let those who have just escaped from ignorance and admire other city-states!" Daveus Set the tone for this retention.

"Sir, you are right! Only a city with a splendid civilization can pass through the years without being forgotten!" Ansitano, who is familiar with history, praised heartily.

"Also, this time the messenger of Athens is called Isocrates, are you familiar?" Daphes asked again.

"Isocrates?! He is a student of Protegora, the wise man of Athens." Ansitanos exclaimed: "Of course I know him, he is no less than the rhetoric genius of Lucias, and he is not only in He has profound attainments in rhetoric and speech, and also has great experience in teaching students. Many young people from city-states came to Athens to worship him as a teacher. What happened today?! Two scholars of Greek literature and language came at the same time Turiri!" Ancitas's face was excited.

"Is it possible to give him—" Daveus asked quickly.

"That's impossible!" Ansitanos shook his head. "Isocrates is a citizen of Athens. It is said that he often promotes the Greeks, especially the Athenians, over other races in his speeches to young people. , So it’s almost impossible for him to stay in our coalition of various races..."

Daphes sighed with regret. Although he didn't have a detailed understanding of Greek history in the past, he was familiar with the names of the two ancient Athens speakers, Lucias and Isocrates, who asked him to read it. It is the University of Political Science and Law. In the course "History of Western Law", when talking about ancient times, the names of these two people could not be avoided.

Either way.He was thinking forward.

………………………………

On the second day, Isocrates, who had learned from Lucias the general attitude of the Dionysian House, still held great enthusiasm and made careful preparations, and came to the Dionysian House-this It is a magnificent venue that can accommodate thousands of people.

But there are fewer than a hundred veterans sitting leisurely, so it seems very empty.

If he sees this situation before seriously understanding the Dionysian Union, Isocratic may laugh at the waste and blind vanity of the Dionysians.

But I spent more than a day in the city of Turiri, watched the game of the game, tasted the food of Turiri, worshipped the Temple of Hades, and also visited Dior together with Lucias under the leadership of Ansitanos Niah Academy, even dressed as ordinary people, mixed into a tavern, and chatted with the Dionysian people... he already had some understanding of the Dionysian Union, he knew the composition of the members of the Senate, so when he saw When the venue and the number of elders were so distinct, he didn't feel funny, but felt a chill in his heart, because he seemed to realize the strong ambition of Dionia.

He quickly pressed this annoying thought to his heart so that he could concentrate all his energy on the next speech.

At this time, he felt that someone was staring at him with great penetrating power. Looking at his eyes, he saw a young man sitting on the front seat facing the center, turning his head to look at him, and giving him a gentle smile. .

Isocrates also smiled back, and he knew in his heart: this young man is the founder of the Dionysian Union-the ruling officer Davis, and there are too many rumors about him in the streets of Turriy, what Hades Descendants, famous generals who have never been defeated, doctors who can be brought back to life, extremely intelligent wise men, great inventors... I really see myself, except for the citizen who is far more than his age, there is nothing like ordinary people. Two, it is hard to imagine that he put forward and planned to build this magnificent grand forum.
