The Second Messenian War

This was a very interesting and informative article over the second of the three Messenian Wars. It was written nicely and was easy to understand. It gave what information I needed and didnt blow smoke like other articles; it just got to the point and shared it. I easily follow the material through the war as it progressed and the Messenian hero, Aristomenes, who became ledgend because of his efforts during the war. The only thing that i could see that needed to be done is a little more elaboration in places but other than that I thought that this was a very good source. (3 pages)

I remember reading about this war and Aristomenes in high school. I'm not much of a history person, but for some reason this topic kind of sparked my interest. Nice topic.
