    Default Translating the famous phrase in 300..

    ..into ancient greek. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me with that. I think it would be humorous, maybe with a fitting image and such. I would propably fail miserably myself, with inflection and such.

    C'EST

    SPARTA!

    ...oh wait...never mind.

    Or should it be "il est sparta", though that would be "he is".. hmm...

    Thanks Hax, I believe that is adequate. Not many people know ancient greek well anyway.

    Oh, you were asking for Greek?!

    Silly me; I thought Sparta was in France all along.

    Question answered and so has to pre-empt possible spamming (which, if you remember, we don't like) I'm closing it.
