I was thinking that we could be soldiers and kill someone named jordanthius and maximus.this is a cool vase dude

Yeah! Let's do a story on that totally awsome vase!

Justins story: Long ago in the country of Sparta there was a young boy. The boy’s name was Maximus, he was around eleven or twelve years old and he had begun his training as a soldier. He had left his home and was going to a sort of training facility where he would spend the next nine or so years of his life. The barracks also had barracks for the children to train in, they also ate there too. When they would act up or not follow there daily duties, they were punished. The punishment was determined by how severe the incident was.

One day Maximus decided that he didn’t want to do one of his duties. He thought why should he do it when he works harder than anyone there. His barrack master asked him why he hadn’t carried out his duties, so Maximus told him. His Barrack's master was infuriated at this, and made Maximus stay the night in the horse stalls. The next morning when he awoke, his Barrack's master took him inside to clean up and told him that if he didn’t want to be punished he would need to do his duties. From then on out Maximus never complained and he did his duties as he was supposed to.

After nine years at the academy it was time for Maximus to be a soldier in the army. Maximus served well and became a great soldier over the years. Maximus fought in many battles, and was later on considered a hero. He later took over the throne as the king of Sparta. In a battle against Athens however, the Spartans were losing the war and didn’t have enough troops to stop the Athenian forces from getting inside the castle walls. Maximus was alerted very quickly and was led out of the castle through a series of passageways and outside. While making his escape however, he was seen by an Athenian archer. The archer took position and readied an arrow. He fired the arrow and it sped straight into the heart of King Maximus, and he died instantly.

The once great soldier of the Spartan empire and king of the throne was now dead, but he was never forgotten. The Spartans later commemorated a statue in honor of his great deeds as soldier and king, and it is still standing even to this day.

The end.
