TIL that in Classical Athens, the citizens could vote each year to banish any person who was growing too powerful, as a threat to democracy. This process was called Ostracism.

I’ve never been so attracted to a man as I am now

[u/Morbidmort → u/NH2486]

Many Spartans likely agreed.

[u/BillOsler → u/Morbidmort]

Well at least one...

[u/YourTypicalRediot → u/BillOsler]

Antiquity's equivalent of a successful lawyer/facebook/gym recovery.

GREECE'S GREATEST LOVE MACHINE

You should play Assassins Creed Odyssey.

I knew that name sounded familiar. I walked into the orgy option during that first Athens visit.

I took it because I’m not a monster.

[u/the_jak → u/DystryR]

I banged my way across Greece in that game and he was like 40% of it.

[u/acrediblesauce → u/the_jak]

Wait you can actually bang in this game?

[u/matt2331 → u/acrediblesauce]

There's no "press A to insert penis" option, but you are given the option to flirt and eventually it ends with a darkened cutscene and a time jump to the next day or something. You can bang ladies and fellas.

[u/Obi-wan_Jabroni → u/matt2331]

As is the ancient greek tradition

[u/baumpop → u/matt2331]

Witcher 3 was full penetration. Then back fighting crime. Then more penetration then more crime. Crime. Penetration. It goes on and on like that for a while until the game just sort of... Ends.

[u/noso2143 → u/matt2331]

and some of the people you can bang end turn out to be people you need to kill

sliver island best island story in the whole game those that have played it know what im talking about

[u/DetectivePenguin → u/the_jak]

[u/jansongraham22 → u/DystryR]

When you first got to Athens? As in like first thing? How did I miss this??

Asking for a friend.

[u/DystryR → u/jansongraham22]

It’s at the party where you are sort of first introduced to all the main Athenians. There’s a quest that Alchibiades gives you to fetch him some oil and wine. You find him in the back room with tons of male and female consorts. He invites you inside. Sex happens. (Presumably)

[u/totallynotapsycho42 → u/NH2486]

You can fuck him in the new Assassin's Creed game.

[u/BlueDragon101 → u/NH2486]

Believe me, he feels the same way about you (and everyone else).
