Абе тия гърци нямат ли срама да лъжат и мажат бе... и тия лъжи как им отиват само. Смятам тия от сайта има доста право:
In the context of the Greco-Persian wars we usually get the bizarre view of the “free” Greeks fighting the “slave nation” of Persia, while in fact things are quite the opposite. A recent study has demonstrated that slaves played an important part in the very same Greek armies which the West perceives as made up of free “citizen-soldiers,” while the Persians employed paid mercenaries. Autocractic or hegemonic rule is not a uniquely “Oriental” characteristic as some in the modern West like to believe. The battle of Thermopylae (480 BCE) has been recorded as the last stand of 300 Spartans who died to the very last man to protect free Greece, and is a myth held up by the modern West as a symbol of resistance to the East. It is quite probable that in this battle each Spartan had seven slaves (Greek h?lots who also fought to the death) with him in battle, bringing the total to 2400, plus another 2,000 non-Spartan Greeks (Thespians and Lacedaemonians) who also died in this battle. It should also be noted that when Athens became the absolute power (Greek hegemon) in parts of Greece, it behaved in a quite un-democratic fashion: the city-states that resisted were punished by having their wealth confiscated or their populations enslaved.
Всичкото им е такова на тия циганета - всичкото... И на лутомос и латанис 
Don't judge me with your ignorance
