I give them a city already growing and flourishing and what do they do?

They lose it to the first Greek who comes out demanding a part of Ilium.

Sometimes it makes me question why I do these things for you, dear children of my line.

Ours is not to question why.

[followthecow]

Ah to be so young.

[battleofaman]

The young are not inclined to ask questions?

[followthecow]

The young are too trusting that they are being lead correctly. Or doing things correctly on their own.

That was the city's fate. Our own actions could speed it up or slow it down, but she would always fall.

[followthecow]

It wasn't fate until your father ignored all the good sense the gods and good breeding gave him and allowed Helen to stay.

[followthecow]

When one founds a city, one is allowed to be arrogant.

[myselfknown]

Perhaps.
Although you did have it pretty easy.

[followthecow]

Easier than some, harder than many others. It wasn't all fun and games.
