Every single one of these people were racially biased against every single other one of these people. That was life. The misellen trait doesn't have to do with 'not believing in a need for unity of greek people', it has to do with having contempt for (use 'other' here if you like or don't, it doesn't matter to me) greeks. Other greeks had contempt for the maks. Achaeans/Ionians had contempt for dorians and they had it for them too. Anyone who thinks that anyone with a drop of greek blood lived in hippie-flowers-in-their-hair harmony with everyone else who had a drop of greek blood is bleeding nutty.
Well said. Could not agree more.
