Welcome to the new Ancient Greek Warfare Blog.
After years of reading and exploring the ancient texts, many questions come to mind. Like, if Alcibiades had been successful at Syracuse (had he been allowed to finish his plan) would that have had a significant impact on the outcome of the Peloponnesian War? If so, would Athens had transformed its democracy into the democracy that formed post Spartan occupation? And if so, would Western Civilization be the way it is today?
This question, and others, are what I would like to explore in this section of Lycurgus.org. More importantly, I would like to start the dialogue around these questions and hope to have those who are smarter than I (which I know there are many) comment and provide insight. I also will say that this, like many blogs, will not be written perfectly. So please excuse the grammar, sentence structure, and style....I write like I think and focus more on thinking than writing.
If you would like to join the conversation or perhaps write some articles of your own, just drop me a line by registering now.
Let the journey begin!
