Home of columned temples, chiton-wearing gods, slinkily dressed goddesses, amazons, and bearded philosophers. Also home to mythic thong-wearing heroes who ride winged horses and do great deeds (all without getting either chafed ''or'' sunburnt). The [[The Spartan Way|Spartans]]

And they ''[[Blatant Lies|definitely]]'' [[Ho Yay|aren't gay]]. Frequently [[Ancient Grome|confused]] with [[Ancient Rome]] by directors who [[They Just Didn't Care|just don't care]].
