Talking About Lycurgus
Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, did you read that story about Lycurgus? The one on the blog?
Jaeyi: Yes, Hyung! It was interesting. He made Sparta very strong, right?
Jaegyum: That's right. The blog said he made many rules for the people. Like how they should live and train.
Jaeyi: I remember! It said that even baby boys had to be strong. If they weren't, they... they couldn't stay in Sparta. That sounds scary.
Jaegyum: Yes, it does sound very strict. But the story said it was to make sure Sparta had strong soldiers. So they could protect themselves.
Jaeyi: They had to train all the time, didn't they? Running, jumping... It said they didn't even wear much clothing, even in winter!
Jaegyum: Yes! And they ate simple food. Not like our yummy snacks. Lycurgus wanted them to be tough and not care about comfort.
Jaeyi: Wow. It's very different from how we live. We have many toys and warm clothes. And we eat 맛있는 (delicious) food.
Jaegyum: True. But because of Lycurgus's rules, Sparta became very powerful for a long time. The blog said other people were even a little bit afraid of them.
Jaeyi: So, being very strict and making many rules can make a country strong?
Jaegyum: It seems that's what happened in Sparta. But maybe it's not the only way to be strong. What do you think?
Jaeyi: Hmm... maybe having good friends and helping each other is also a kind of strength? Like our Taekwondo class! We learn to help our partners.
Jaegyum: That's a good point, Jaeyi. Lycurgus made Sparta strong in one way. But there are different ways to be strong.
Jaeyi: I liked learning about Lycurgus, though. It's interesting to know how people lived a long, long time ago.
Jaegyum: Me too! Maybe we can read another story about ancient times tomorrow.
Jaeyi: Okay, Hyung!
