Laconia was a city in Ancient Sparta. The Spartans were famous for their dry wits, which was called "laconic" after the region and its people.
When Phillip II invaded, he sent a message to the king of Laconia.
Message: You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city.
