Name

The name that was given to Female
Sappho: (612 B.C.) an influential poet of Greece. In her poetry she remarks on the love of her female fellowships, which inspired some of the greatest lyrichs in human history. She was born on the Greek island of Lesbos, from which is derived. At the instigation of Pope Gregory Nazianzen, Christians burned most of her writings in 380 AD. In 1073 a 2nd book Burning by Pope Gregory VII may have destroyed what remained of her works. Today she is preserved only in fragments, as citations in works of classical scholars and on strips of papyrus found in Egypt. Her talent was too great to forget and too impossible to completely destroy because it flourished beyond regions and in the minds of intellects and scholars in a multitude too great to just slash and burn.
Now a name for Males
Spartans: (800-500 BC) Spartiates, from Sparta, Greece. It had the greatest army in the region and theirs was a worrier culture. They are responsible from many genius army formations and intellectual tactics that are still used today (one example would be forming a boxes of shields by putting their square shields side by side concealing the front, sides and top from enemy fire and shooting arrows out of choreographed slits while marching forward to the target, seen in the ‘Gladiator’) The Spartan was essentially a soldier, trained for endurance. In this culture weakness was not tolerated, shortly after birth the child was left out in the wilderness to survive and brought before the elders, who decided whether it was to be reared: if defective, it was dropped off a cliff. Thus was secured the maintenance of a high standard of physical efficiency. At the age of seven regiments were enforced to prepare the young men for becoming worriers. This training consisted for the most part in physical exercises, sparing, wrestling and dancing. Spartans had a reputation of being "laconic", or to the point. Education was also extended to s. Both es exercised . Spartans ruled the athletic Olympic, and their men were very successful. From 650 to 620 Sparta brought Messenia the greek region under its control. It was against the backdrop of the Messenian war and the following defeats that the unique Spartan way of life developed, winning the out numbered battle of Marathon, in 404 and defiting Greece in the Peloponnesian Civil War made Sparta famous in the hellenic or Greek world until the present day. In the militatary male affections were enchouraged, understanding the strength derived when fighting by your companion’s side. This uality invoked strength, power and unity for solders. They achieved inner consistency, a compact unit, and military efficiency. There is no tyranny in Sparta and their battle phalanx is said to be undefeatable. Impacts of this system are fear and closing of the Spartan community towards other nations.
Titled:
This is an ode to the men and the strength derived from each other. The spartan aul history encompases both war and love and offers and well rounded view as soldure, companion, and respected lover. This culture proves as a direct contradiction to the currently inadequate view, which I have known to be false and inadequately represented. The island of Lesbos offered an ideal mental oasis for thought, poetic expression and beauty and central period developing a specific term for females, s. Naturally, I felt the male title came from Spartans with mental might and and physical attraction. Sparta is that of strength in battle and in relationship. This offers a tough and true heritage for male attraction. The might of their love through the grueling test of war shows the up most power and compatibility. I am not mentally delinquent, a mere fad, an oddity, nor the spite of god, rather I am a modern warrior of sorts, I am a fighter, I am strong, I am prevailing, and I hope to be a fearless lover- I choose to take my title from Sparta.
