Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3076 Libation Bearer ([-])
Before the outbreak of the Persian Wars, the most powerful city-state in the Greek world was Sparta, so Thucydides said, "Because Athens was too strong, and this power caused fear in Sparta, the Pelopontes The Nisan War was inevitable".

Pomona knew it wasn't a good time to think about these things, but now that she and Severus had different opinions, it was best for them to stay on the same page.

During the first Hippo-Persian War, the rest of the Greek city-states surrendered in the name of Darius, only the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta and Athens still resisted desperately.Although the Athenians also made great contributions, such as the famous Battle of Marathon, only Pugatia dared to form a coalition with the Athenians at that time. This 1-man army had to resist [-] Persian troops.In order to tell the good news of the victory to the Athenians as soon as possible, a soldier was sent out to run from Marathon to the central square of Athens at the fastest speed.

However, this battle caused Pugatia to attract the revenge of Xerxes. During the Second Hippocratic War, Plataea, which guarded the Isthmus Avenue, was destroyed by the Persians. The Spartans soon led the coalition forces to defeat Persia. people.

Since then, the Greeks will hold the "Festival of the Dead" here every year to offer sacrifices to Zeus the liberator, while the Spartans represent all the allied forces outside the Delphi Temple and erect a bronze monument with the inscription On the name of the allied forces of all parties, but the Spartans topped the list.

The Athenians didn't seem very happy about this, anyway Alexander used his own name and that of all the Greeks "except the Spartans" in the Parthenon's offering of the great victory over Persia on behalf of "all the Greeks" head.

The Spartans were also very unhappy. During the Second Hippo War, the whole city of Athens abandoned the city and ran to the ship. After the Persians evacuated, they returned to the city-state and began to rebuild the city and the city wall.The Spartans did not want the Greeks to build the city walls, they hoped that the Athenians could use the Peloponnese Peninsula as a retreat.However, the Greek navy at that time had already demonstrated its naval strength in the Hippo War. They were not "all soldiers" like the Spartans. In Spartan law, it was even illegal for Spartans to cultivate land Yes, they have to learn military knowledge in school since they were young, and they have to live together for a period of time as adults and eat in public canteens.

Eating in the cafeteria is not only a solution to the problem of food, but also represents "citizenship". If a Spartan couple has too many children, they may face the problem of not being able to pay their own food expenses. The inability to go to the public cafeteria means Without full citizenship, there can be no glory and reputation.

War was the way spartans got their wealth, some rich spartans would give to these spartans who couldn't afford their share, they were called "friends" and they were always hungry for war and wealth so much that Any kind of middle-of-the-road strategy without merit or demerit is unacceptable to them.

When Xerxes sent envoys to ask Sparta and Athens to surrender, the Athenians directly threw the Persian envoys into a deep pit, while the Spartans threw the world into a well, saying that Xerxes had what Xerxes wanted "Water and Earth".

It was such a group of people who guarded Thermopylae, and even a Spartan king died in this battle.

At that time, Athens had made up its mind to become a city-state of sea power. They not only built the city wall of Athens, but also built two long walls leading to a city called Piraeus, which was a natural port, in 431 BC When the Spartans attacked Athens, the Athenians retreated to the city wall to hold their positions.

This wall was built in a hurry, and it is said that all kinds of stones were used, which is not as good as the city wall of Troy.

However, a plague broke out in Athens at this time, and Pericles, the consul who oversaw the construction of the Parthenon, also died in the plague.

Unlike the former consuls Solon and Christine who absorbed new groups of citizens, he narrowed the scope of Athenian citizenship. Only "Athenians" whose parents were both citizens of Athens had citizenship.

For example, when the Persians came, the whole city had to be evacuated. Firstly, the citizens of Athens were evacuated by boat, then the foreigners who married the Athenians, and finally the slaves. They were taken away entirely because oars were used at that time. The "hollow ships" of the Greek Navy were all manned by free men.

Without citizenship, no good things can be done, such as holding various national festivals and sports games, you are not eligible to participate.

However, Pericles was a very competent consul in the eyes of many Athenians at that time, and none of his successors could match him.Athens during his reign was already very powerful. Thucydides believed that the rise of Athens had something to do with the change of command of the coalition forces. The naval battle of Salamis was considered to be the turning point of the Second Hippocampus War. The new alliance was in Delos Later historians called it the "Delian League". Many members of the alliance had conflicts with Sparta and the Peloponnesian League, but they all faced the threat of Persia.Therefore, at this alliance meeting, the Athenians proposed a rule to clarify which alliances paid money and which alliances paid warships, and then Athens used these tributes to build its own public facilities.

When the Peloponnesian War broke out, Sparta had already formed the hegemony that destroyed Athens in the Aegean Sea. Only the victorious Spartans could gain wealth and glory. As their "appetite" grew during the war, Sparta had Rise up to replace Athens and become the military and trade hegemon of the Greek world.

"Everyone is equal before the law" has caused many allies to hand over their lawsuits to Athens for trial. Before Pericles, the Ares Mountain Council was in charge.Before Solon's reforms, Athens practiced the Draco method, even if it was stealing fruit or being lazy, it would be sentenced to death.According to the Spartan law, stealing is not a crime. As long as you don’t get caught, you’ll be fine. If someone finds out, you’ll be beaten severely. This is not a punishment for stealing, but because his stealing skills are not very good...

"What were you thinking?" Severus asked.

"Steal something," Pomona said, staring at the silver snake on Kelly's head, which seemed to be a silver barrette.

"Steal what?" Severus asked.

"You get his attention," Pomona said.

"Have you ever stolen?" Severus asked in disbelief.

"There's a first time for everything." Pomona took a deep breath. "Have you figured out what it's going to do?"

"Do you still remember that there is a Three Sisters bell in the school?" Severus said. "It places the other two outside the castle. You only need to ring the one in the castle..."

"It's just that three broken bells are so powerful?" Pomona couldn't help asking.

"It did something else. Now it just needs Miss Wharton to ring it with wind magic. She is resisting." Severus took a deep breath. "But it seems to be winning."

It dawned on Pomona, no wonder it wanted a Ravenclaw.

There is no rule that students who have an affinity for the wind element will "must" be assigned to Ravenclaw, but who makes Ravenclaw the representative of the wind element.

The fire was blown by the wind, and there was no air circulation in this room at all. It might be a bad omen that the fire in the brazier would go out.

"We're going to get out before we run out of oxygen," Pomona said.

"I agree," Severus said, and then he cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself and disappeared.

"What!?" Pomona's eyes widened in surprise.

"According to your plan," he said in the darkness.

"But my plan is that you are responsible for attracting its attention!" Pomona wanted to scream, but was afraid of alarming the enemy.

Then he stopped talking.

She stamped her feet in frustration, then looked back to the center of the "stage".

That place is actually a good place to put a podium, such as the one used when the principal delivers a speech at the opening banquet. When it wants to have amplification effect, the owl as a decoration will spread its wings.

"Thank you for finding a place like this." Pomona muttered, then slowly walked down the steps, thinking about what expression to use to "appear".
