He was teaching about how societies need someone (a king, a government, whatever) to impose law and order (AND TAXES) in order for business to conduct effectively in an atmosphere of some stability. Xena, he said, could come and impose some enforced order on a couple of warring villages.

He said people would forget everything he taught them, but remember his Xena story, because that's the way people are wired. They retain stories and forget facts and figures.

You're right. There are many "closet" watchers of this wonderful show. I am a historian, so in my line of work, I really can't admit that I watch a show that takes such liberties with history (quite a few eyebrows would be raised at work if I did). But then again, maybe they're closet watchers themselves!!
By coming on this Netforum, I guess I'm sort of "outing" myself to the world.
A devoted Xena fan, as always.
