“Today we’re going to learn about the horrible, totalitarian Persians and the saintly, democracy-loving Greeks. But of course we already know this story: there were some wars in which no one wore any shirts and everyone was reasonably fit, the Persians were bad, the Greeks were good, Socrates and Plato are awesome, the Persians didn’t even philosophize. The West is the best! Go team!
Yeah, well. No.”
