- Nasrudith 7y agoWhat myth of Athens do you have in mind? Athens isn't without publically supported dickery given it was kind of a long history. The closest examples I can think of are voting to go to war for slaves and establishing a naval power empire extorting tribute until their vassals allied agaist them. Neither are exactly applicable to even strawmen interpretations.
