Athens was really the unofficial capital of Ancient Greece, in that it was the centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato’s academy, Aristotle’s Lyceum, the Parthenon, and the Agora. The centerpoint of many other prominent philosophers, writers and politicians of the ancient world starkly contrasted with the very warlike Spartan city-state, who trained every male citizen for battle at the youngest age possible with Greek swords. This warlike nature payed its due dividends in not only defending Ancient Greece from the powerful Persian Empire, but also overthrowing said Empire.
Imagine being able to own your very own replica of Socrates’ toga, an outfit akin to
one of Sparta’s infamous 300 soldiers, led by King Leonidas in their valiant efforts of defending Greece from the Persians. Imagine owning a Greek costume, taking you back to the graudeur of what is affectionately known as the cradle of western civilization. Be a philosopher, an olympian, a Spartan soldier, a politician like Pericles, or even Alexander the Great!
