Basically: GREAT WAR (peloponnesian war) to see who's the strongest, Sparta wins and screws up its allies, allies then rebel in the INDIPENDENCE WAR (corinthian war) and fail, now they're Sparta's bitches.
(sources: life of Pelopidas by Plutarch, The sacred band by S.Romm, Anabasis by Xenophon, The theban hegemony by John Buckler, Biblioteca historica by Diodorus Siculus )
This kind of prelude/previously will be done at the beginning of every chapter (with 1 page only, from now on) so I won't have to put up an exposition every time they mention something.
This whole situation sets the basis of the end of the classical period, before Alexander the great.
This is a "fan-made" political drama loosely based on source material and more focused on character development and relationships made by me. Ancient historians tended to refer to people only through their actions in the context of greater historical events. This series focuses more on their lives as real people as i imagined by following what they said when it comes to relationships and friendships and the like. Since i tried to remain historically accurate, i'm sorry to inform you that some iconic things you thought you knew about ancient Greece are false, we've all been gaslighted to accept some misconceptions lol some of the iconic things we love about ancient Greece didn't even exist or were wrong ahah!
Enjoy some of my favorite historical gay icons and their story through this period ;)
See you this christmas with the first pages
