Come and take it! - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

Why is every famous spartan pithy line something they said before they got their shit rocked?

“Come and take them” ok. Then all the Spartans die and all of their allies while the Athenians are destroying fleets and winning the war.

“If” ok, the Macedonians fucking rock you and pillage your land you useless slavers.

I, too, fell asleep to a couple of Peloponnesian War documentaries…
None of these events happened during the Peloponnesus war? Philip rocked Sparta after their hegemony and the Persians lost prior to it?
