Strabo – “Geography” “There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis.

ΚΑΤΩ Η ΣΥΓΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΣΗ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΟΔΟΤΩΝ!!!

Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

<strong>LAWS</strong>, BOOK V<strong>II</strong><br />

rejects our law must try some other method, nor<br />

shall we be here<strong>by</strong> precluded from asserting in our<br />

doctrine that the female sex must share with the<br />

male, to the greatest extent f)Ossible, both in education<br />

and in all else. For in truth we ought to<br />

conceive of the matter in this light. Suppose that<br />

women do not share with men in the whole of their<br />

mode of life, must they not have a different system<br />

of their own<br />

.'<br />

CLIN.<br />

They must.<br />

.\TH. Then which of the systems now in vogue<br />

shall we prescribe in preference to that fellowship<br />

which we are now imposing upon them ? Shall it be '<br />

that of the Thracians, and many other tribes, who<br />

\<br />

employ their women in tilling the ground and minding<br />

oxen and sheep and toiling just like slaves }<br />

Or that<br />

which obtains with us and all the people of our district.'<br />

The way women are treated with us at present is<br />

this—we huddle all our goods together, as the saying<br />

goes, within four walls, and then hand over the dispensing<br />

of them to the women, together with the<br />

control of the shuttles and all kinds of wool-work.<br />

Or again, shall we prescribe for them, Megillus, that<br />

midway system, the Laconian ? Must the girls<br />

share in gymnastics and music, and the women<br />

abstain from wool-work, but weave themselves<br />

instead a life that is not trivial at all nor useless,<br />

but arduous, advancing as it were halfway in the ,<br />

path of domestic tendance and management and<br />

child-nurture, but taking no share in military<br />

service ; so that, even if it should chance to be<br />

necessary for them to fight in defence of their city<br />

and their children, they will be unable to handle<br />
