Spartan quotes (and more)...

[Cadwalader]

Thanks for posting this link. Very interesting reading.

I'm curious(but don't expect to find out) why several of the quotes have Spartans speaking in Scots.
e.g. When the ambassadors of the Samians spoke at great length, the Spartans said to them, "We hae forgot the first part, and the later part we did na ken because we hae forgot the first."

I'm not entirely sure here, but I seem to remember reading that Scots was used in the theatre to represent Doric Greek.
There is a dialect og Scots today that is called "Doric":
