Make believe history...Sounds so real! History lesson 2: Dreptharians

100-300 A.D.
History lesson 2: Dreptharians

The Dreptharians were very gentle and calm people...Until 130 A.D., that is! In 130 A.D. the Dreptharians started a war against the Romans. The children were taught to fight at just seven years old! The Romans were strong fighters and thought the attacks were very weak. The Dreptharians did not want to be thought of as weak fighters, so they started making the Greeks join their side of the war. The Greeks decided to help and their side grew stronger. What the Dreptharians didn't know that the Greeks joined just so that they could get rid of those Dreptharians. The Greeks woke up late at night and gathered up their knives and swords. They weren't going to attack the Romans, but the Dreptharians. They killed almost every Dreptharian soldier by morning. There were very few left. When the Dreptharians saw all the other soldiers dead, they asked the Greeks what happened. The Greeks said it was the Romans. When the Dreptharians started attacking again, the Romans easily killed them all. What evil Greeks!
