Is mention of a city or cities that are listed in any other ancient manuscripts equally forbidden? Seems to me that even if one reads the Bible as only...

Ok Folks, It's time to calm down and get back to the use of this board. I have seen this subject come up many times and it always degrades to everyone beating...
Concerning the poll titled "Do you think that the Agohga was a good pratis for young boys? By our modern standards, that would be considered "child abuse" from...
By almost anyone's standards, then or now, the Agoge was considered unnecessarily harsh. As proof anyone can read Pericles' Funeral Oration where he derided...
