Zeus is extremely concerned about the war that has been going on between Athens and Sparta. He simply cannot understand why a war would last for as long as this one has- it's been twenty years already, and there's no end in sight.

Cleverly disguised as a Spartan soldier, Zeus sends you on your way to learn about the Spartan side of the Peloponnesian War. There, he hopes you will learn several things from the soldiers.

Zeus is a God who demands many details. First, he wants to know how the battle actually started. What was the conflict that they've been fighting for about twenty years? Then, he wishes to know smaller details. He wants to know how the Spartan men are holding up on a daily basis. Where are they sleeping? What are they eating? What are their weapons and what do they wear for protection in battles?

Also, getting in touch with his softer, emotional side, Zeus wonders how the men are actually feeling inside. He wants you to interview a few soldiers and include their responses in your article. Are their war strategies working?

Not wanting to disappoint Zeus, you get started right away! (Don't forget: You are writing from the pespective of a Spartan!)
