I mean I grew up near Sparta, WI and afaict other than the high school sports mascot just being "The Spartans," they have absolutely zero Sparta-themed stuff
The Spartans were, in fact, the worst Mediterranean culture of Antiquity. The Spartans were worse than: - The Athenians - The Thebians - The Persians - The Romans - The fucking Carthaginians
And they were all worse than the Phoenicians.
Well, Persia was *hugely* successful and influential in our timeline. It’s just that the areas that used to be part of the Persian Empire have been less powerful than the areas that used to be part of Rome for the last century or two.
Yeah, popular culture has some weird hangups about the Persians and the Greeks.
Like our culture lionised Rome, and Rome lionised Greece, and Greece demonised Persia. But really the Greek city states were very varied, and some were pretty shitty, whilst Persia was generally pretty decent (though it depended who the King of Kings was).
Plenty of ethnically Greek people sided with Persia and didn't think twice about it and branding them as "traitors" is very much a retroactive thing
