I had to watch this for a school assignment, and I'm not going to lie, when I first clicked and saw 11 minutes of content I had to watch, I was not looking forward to it. To my surprise, it actually ended up being really good and interesting, and I enjoyed it.

Pierre de Coubertin also invented the sport Modern Pentathlon in order to create the perfect athlete: fast, strong, persistent, able to work with animals and combat others.
It derives from the legend of a brave soldier that hat to master running, swimming, shooting, fencing and riding to complete his mission.

Mr. Answer Archive, you quit way too soon. You could have been huge if you kept it up. Your quality was top notch. So sorry to see you go.

Um... Greek city-states DID legit go to war with each other. Two Peloponnesian Wars for example? And lots of others, smaller ones, but still deadly
