Now the country was inhabited in those days by various classes of
citizens;-there were artisans, and there were husbandmen, and there
was also a warrior class originally set apart by divine men. The
latter dwelt by themselves, and had all things suitable for nurture
and education; neither had any of them anything of their own, but they
regarded all that they had as common property;
Could relate to the seperate "city state" of Sparta which coexisted with Greece at the time - they did regard property as communal and relied on slaves to produce all they needed.
