I am currently reading VDH's book who killed Homer. His argument is that Greece was unique in having the citizens own their own land and work it not as serfs or share croppers but as individuals who owned their land "freehold". It is a recurring theme in his books but I cannot help thinking that he has a blind spot re: Israel?
Israel AND Greek city states allowed individuals to own their own land "freehold"
Israel AND Greece both relied on a militia rather than a standing army to wage wars
Greece had leadership but no king (Sparta aside)
Israel was designed to function without a king
What say ye
