I don't think Athens was known for its "warrior culture".
- zbyszek 15y agoWhat about about the Peloponnesian wars? They went on for decades! Of course, the Athenians were known for other things too.

- JanezStupar 15y agoFrom antique on and indeed today. Any civilization worth mentioning in history had a warrior culture. Indeed a man that was not a trained warrior was deemed unfit to perform any kind of public service. Some cultures being known as more war like, in my opinion only signals their relative cultural poverty on other areas.
