[edit] "mingling of races"?!?

"But the fertility of the soil, the warm and genial climate, the MINGLING OF RACES and the absence of opposition, combined to render the Messenians no match for their hardy and warlike neighbours of Sparta." Who is reponsible for this travesty??? Anyway I took it out. thestor 07:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I think you can blame the 1911 Britannica for that one. Or an extreme Spartophile. --Akhilleus (talk) 07:31, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
