What Is So Interesting About Athens?

Alfred zimmern read athens literally as briton in so many ways that he would sometimes confuse quotations from burke with quotations from aristotle. I think in his mind, they inhabited the same space, a as sparta was germany. And for other thinkers, later, the soviet union it's exactly right,. At in sparta is is the example of non liberal existence. It is where the state tells you what to do, and there is no freedom, and that’s why you're warlike but ina nasty way.
