Young Girl (Ruby)
I am a young Spartan girl.
I am a young Athenian girl.
I started military school at the age of
6. We learned to steal, lie, and kill.
I don’t go to school, but I learn how
to cook and sew and run a home,
and how to be a good wife and
mother.
We both value our learning.
Our City State values the Gods Ares,
the God of fighting, and Artemis the
God of execution.
Our City State values Athena, the
God of Wisdom.
We both have our Gods
watching over us.
Our City-State is ruled by warriors.
Our City-State is by direct
democracy.
We both have a stable
government system.
