Just a question tho. How do you find so good questions?
I basically just look through the wiki of the page, in this case both the city and the ancient city-state and find anything interesting I can make into a question.
The history section is pretty good for that. I also look deeper into a topic if I think the Wiki doesn't go in depth enough
The word "laconic" means "using as few words as possible". Its comes from the fact that the Spartans, who hailed from Laconia, spoke in such manner: tersely, few words.
It punctures a good deal of the myths that have built up recently about Sparta.
