Each polis also had incentive to create a unique factor of itself to boost the separate identity of its people, for example Sparta had extremely strong land forces, Athens a very good navy and trade, Smyrna many philosophers, Syracuse great scientists and inventors etc.

Note that tyrant just meant someone who took power for themselves with no comment on their policies or popularity, and dictator was someone appointed to absolute power for six months to solve a crisis. The negative meanings come from the fact that such people usually turn out unpopular And the murder of Hipparchus (or Hippias, can't remember), which was actually for entirely personal reasons And how medieval thinkers like Aquinas tried desperately to separate 'good' kings from 'bad' tyrants

Thank you for highlighting Greece. In the modern era, many have looked down their noses and said nasty things about them because they are not economically the powerhouse by any means in Europe. It goes without saying that the values of Germany are different from the values of Greece, but that doesn’t mean either one of them are wrong. I was in Greece about five years ago I got very desperately ill on one of the Greek islands the hotel manager told me to go to the public health clinic down the road, and that it would be free no charge at all. this was at a time when Greece was in a state of economic disaster. I told him I really didn’t want to use the public system I didn’t feel like I should burden them with my needs. he insisted I go. I found them to be the most generous of people despite ther financial hardships. Athens in travel guides is often described as a dirty nasty place that you don’t wanna spend any time in; try to get to the boat out to the islands right away. I didn’t find it to be that way at all it’s a very lively vibrant city and yes it has a lot of rundown areas but I live in Lisbon and so does it. That doesn’t make it a terrible city it’s full of history. When you are able to look up at night and see the Parthenon lit up from anywhere in the city and know that this was the place where A representative republic was first established), you can’t help but really be admiring of them including their nice work life balance! Opa!

this is great, thank you... suggestions: - as with your video presentations of battles and campaigns and wars, could you please consider a practice of including on-screen labels of the names of key figures in these presentations... brief displays on-screen labels of names of historical figures, appearing on the screen as they are introduced as key figures in the story (eg, briefly displaying names like “Cylon,” “Solon,” “Peisistratus”when key figures like these are introduced in the story.) This would be an aid to viewers’ memories and to further study. - as with your video presentations of battles and campaigns and wars, would you please consider including on-screen maps where appropriate (for example, in this video Megara’s rivalry with Athens was discussed, a map showing where Megara, Athens, and Attica are located would aid understanding and memory.)

I think that land should never be owned by anyone but rather rented by the state to whoever is more capable of maximizing the produce. Land should be owned by goverment but the latter should not be in direct control of the harvest. Stalin made the goverment responsible for he harvest and turned all farmers into goverment employees with a fixed wage and the result was mass starvation and famine. The problem with my solution is that if the goverment is corrupt then the will rent it based on nepotism and competence.

Every time I hear the name Solon, I can only think of the old psycopath from Fire Emblem: Three Houses who experimented on and destroyed a village for funsies as opposed to a relatively just reformer. It's actually kinda funny that all the major Agarthans in that game are named after members of the Seven Sages of Greece.

@@TheBKnight3 The video pretty much explicitly states that he opposed socialist policies when the population demanded them from him. His policies are pretty much based on "opening up" the upper classes and to allow regular people to intermingle with them, rather than forcefully redistributing wealth. Pretty similar to modern day libertarians that want to make it easier for common folk to open and run their own businesses.

You literally have very little political bias and tell it like it is without the distracting propagandas of modern politics.
