Note: I am really busy at the moment and I drown in Latin tests and 
questions every day. Because of that, I am sometimes not able to

small donation will be answered, and answered quickly.

(Romans accuse the Greeks of imperialism and provide this
example of the violence against the inhabitants of the island Melos
in the year 415BC: )
"Etiam a Graecis antiquis feminae et liberi in servitium dabantur, etiam ab
eis imperium gladio et iniuria obtinebatur. Nam Melii ab Atheniensibus
monebantur: "Parete imperio nostro! Alioquin fortuna vestra mutabitur;
aut caedemini aut in servitium ducemini."
Ac profecto Melii, quod parere dubitant, iniuriis violantur et caeduntur, 
feminae eorum cum liberis in servitium mittuntur."

Reading vocabulary:
ab Atheniensibus	- by the Athenians
alioquin - otherwise
