He was accused by Athens for treason (he failed at defense of Amfipol)  and went into exile till the end of war. But, he was for most part neutral in his depictions on Peloponnese War. If you take any mainstream high school history book, usually they skip over more seedy things done by victors. Let's just say that using atomic bombs on civilian population is questionable at best, but well, good guys did it so it's ok (i'm oversimplifying it a bit, but that's accepted narrative for the most part). I'm not familiar enough with history curriculum in USA to comment on what is taught in schools about Civil War, sorry.  But we are steering kinda off topic. [USER=2209]@Voadam[/USER]Hero is also another word for protagonist. It doesn't automatically imply that one is "good". For example, Elric of Melnibone is moraly grey at best, yet he is hero (protagonist) of Moorcock's novels. Also, thanks for posting that. Had no idea about any of that. I did play 2ed ad&d, but never read those.</blockquote>
