Let's start roughly 4600 years ago. That's when we start seeing Greek history. Or the early version, like the Mycenaeans and the Minoans. 2000 BC is roughly the start of what we think of as ancient Greece. Around 800 BC, we start to see the rise of city-states. The two biggies, of course, are Sparta and Athens. 499 marks the start of the Greco-Persian Wars. The whole movie 300 times. They last roughly 20 years, and in 479 the Greeks finally crushed Persia, and we hit the golden age of ancient Greece. Here, you get what most people are thinking of: Pericles, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and the Parthenon is built. Good times, right? 48 years is all they actually are. 431, they go to war again, the Peloponnesian Wars. Athens vs. Sparta, the big showdown, and yes, Sparta wins by 404; nearly 30 more years they were at war.

Hockey players can be either douches or great guys. Let me tell you about some douches. We recently played a team all say 17 - 21 and they literally all looked like someone you would cast as the rich bully in a teen drama. They literally all would have been perfectly cast, except not like a muscled bully just a rich kid. They constantly chirped which is part of hockey but then back shit up when you shit talk, don't just scurry away, like rats. What really got me was they singled out a single player to try and pick on. Someone with some issues. If you have to "punch down" your a loser, you should be embarrassed. I am 5 foot fuck all and I take pride in battling guys way bigger than me. Hell I lose a lot but I cause them issues. Everyone on my team even says that, punching down I couldn't imagine. Plus they had 2 "coaches" on the bench. Guys my age, probably a couple dads I assume. Flat out WTF! Your in a rec league of ball hockey in the lowest or almost lowes...
