Excerpt from Hellenic Conceptions of Peace
Ancient hellas was a land of small city-states, each with its own political systems, its own economic interests, its own social customs, and often its own dialect. The high est aim of the citizen was to possess that patriotism which subordinated all to the service of the state, which used every talent for its glorification and which handed down the fatherland greater and better than it had been handed down to him. Out of such ideals came that keen rivalry which produced the finest works of Hellenic culture. But from it also came devastating wars and the downfall of its very products, Hellenic freedom and civilization.
