The Spartans were famous for their kind of very terse speech, famously when Philip of Macedon was threatening the Spartans and he's saying, if you don't come onto my side, I'm going to do this and that to you. If you don't become part of my kingdom, my empire, I'm going to do this to your city, I'm going to do that to your people.
