The other child is already dead. One mother rolled over and smothered her child in her sleep and is trying to screw over the other mother.

The ancient Greeks resorted to "exposing" unwanted children, leaving them out on a hillside to die. See the story of Oedipus. The Romans probably did too. I don't know about in Solomon's time, but I suppose that if a child were obviously deformed or unlikely to live, they'd have done that as well.

That doesn't strike me as the most efficient way of splitting the baby.
One guy holding it by the wrists, another guy holding it by the ankles and a third guy ready to do the chopping. A strong guy like what stepped out of a Frank Frazetta painting. Surrounded by polar bears. And maybe a half naked babe watching from the corner with a tiger curled around her.

One of the points of the Abraham and Isaac story is that child sacrifice is common enough in the near East that Abraham isn't shocked and horrified by it, and that one of the distinguishing features of Judaism versus the other tribes will be God's rejection of such sacrifices.

Certainly the Spartans would have. You had to be tough to survive in Sparta. I think other Greek city-states did; Oedipus's home state was Thebes. Of course the king exposed him because of the prophecy that the boy would end up killing him, the king, and marrying the queen. (Which we know he did.)

No, he did survive being cast out, but he just shows up to Leonidas' front line as they prepare for battle, offering to help.
Leonidas then tells him that he can't do the formation Spartans use to fight, and sends him away. And then the battles never use that formation. And the deformed guy shows Xerxes a hidden mountain pass.

Born deformed and crippled and his mother ran off with him rather than leave him to die. He approached Leonidas and wanted to fight as a Spartan but he would have been unable to hold his shield properly for the phalanx so he was told no and to help behind the lines in tending to wounded. Instead he betrayed the hidden pass location to Xerxes. I think it does somewhat line up with the Herodotus version.

People's attitudes towards children were different back then because most children didn't make it to adulthood. Some cultures didn't even give them proper names until they were past puberty. So, the stories about Sparta are not out of the realm of possibility.

I don't believe that was a "reason" for their destruction. It was noted in Roman histories though.
Given that Carthage is believed to have originated with the Phoenicians and religious practices involving child sacrifice as noted in the Bible from that part of the world, it'd seem logical that they continued those religious practices (certainly the deities appear to be the same).

Sure. The Roman's real reasons were more political, someone above said trade. The Romans were expanding into Sicily and the Carthaginians didn't like them moving in on their turf. The child sacrifice "outrage" seems like a justification added on later after the Romans finally won. Wouldn't be the first time, or last, that governments invented reasons for war.

This is the craziest story. In order to prevent Olympians from having sex, and thus risk spreading the Covid virus, beds at the Tokyo Olympic Village are made from cardboard so they collapse if more than one person gets on them!
They should ban condoms, which is something the experts would say. That'll stop the hanky-panky.

I can't remember if it was porn or wasn't premarital sex that he claimed didn't happen before the 50s. Because I seem to recall some people telling him off with stories about young girls needing to go and spend the summer at An aunt and uncle's farm

Hell, the bodies were still warm on the battlefield when that shit started. Dan Sickles had lost his leg on the second day, and evacuated to DC almost immediately (I believe he was actually on the road to Washington while Pickett's Charge was going on).
Sickles started blabbing to everyone in DC about how his actions saved the day, and that Meade was a blunderer. Started a blood feud between the two generals that lasted a lifetime.

Generally the only substantiation one can do in the modern era is cross-referencing with different sources such as they are available. Modern historians like coming up with new theories of what happened out of whole cloth and substituting them for anything old records say though. For example sea people denial and Carthaginian child sacrifice denial.
A general assumption of old histories as propaganda tends not to be well-founded. Who would this propaganda even be aimed at? We're not talking about newspapers or television here. That doesn't mean they're free from error, but most deconstruction is garbage.

Remember also when we are speaking of motivations, we are doing so with modern eyes and views on right and wrong. What looks good and bad.
Historical accounts can also be modified by the author, but remember HIS biases in wanting himself to look good are not your biases.

I think there's good reason to doubt ancient historians: modern historians. There's no good reason to think man was more grounded, more honest, or less biased in the past than now, and we know how speculative, sometimes dishonest, and often motivated to tell a certain kind of history modern historians are.

A contemporary history has many advantages over one written from a distant time frame. It's not that hard to see when a historian is engaged in myth-making.
It should be remember that a modern historian is very different from an ancient historian, they have different audiences. Materials made for the education of rulers are rather different from things meant to sway the masses.

I am not sure how much I buy the theory that every Emperor hated by the upper class (the historian class) is portrayed as a monster. Nero also runs afoul of Christian historians as being one of the first to persecute.
He probably sucked, but probably not as bad as recorded. He was probably a bored princeling not interested in his responsibilities. He did something to Christians, or there would not be the hate to begin with.

There was a book some years ago called "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."
I saw it at a bookstore. A chick and her boyfriend were there and she picked it up and read the title and then turned to her boyfriend and said, "there's so much stuff they don't teach you in school."
To this day, I don't know if she was kidding. She seemed sincere, but she might have had a good deadpan.

If the news is the rough draft, then popular "fiction" entertainment is the 2nd revision. Mrs. Reason was watching a law drama TV show that stated without ANY pause or counterpoint that the J6 Insurrectionists were dead-set on "hanging the vice president" and were "going to kill Pelosi."

I have to start looking for a new PCP since the one I was assigned sure doesn't like his absolute authority challenged in any way. Used to be, being married to a BSRN carried some weight in medical circles. Not any more. I don't like my doc being dismissive of my input.

Oral traditions can be equally shaky if not worse.
Two examples, the Lakota Sioux of the Black Hill had an oral tradition that said that they had always been there, indeed, were created there. In fact, we know from French trading records that they were originally a Great Lakes tribe that was displaced by other Indians who wanted to get in on the lucrative fur trade and that they themselves displace the the then native tribes of the Black Hills. The second involves DeSota's trip through the SE where at one point, he fought a pitched battle with local tribes. When The French later got to this region, the tribes had no memory of this event even happening. So a group of white strangers riding giant deer and shooting thundersticks to kill your people was forgotten in a couple of centuries.

By this logic, you should be able to walk into Barnes & Noble, or log into Amazon, and get honest accounts of the presidencies of the 2000s. But by and large you can't. If we can't sort out our own contemporary history, why should we believe others could? The idea that you'll get the most accurate history from contemporaries, who are inherently interested in those events (quite often participants) and that you'll just be able to smell bullshit 2000 years later is a bit optimistic.

This goes back to different audiences. Ancient histories aren't written for popular consumption. The bias of modern historians and where it applies is often obvious, the same for ancient historians. Older histories, particularly military histories are not very interpretive, they're often listings of events and details.
