As Thucydides described it, the ancient codes of religion and honor were abandoned and the Hellenes went at each other with unrestrained violence. So soon after the glorious defeat of Persia, Greek civilization self-destructed. The same could be said to have happened with the European nations in the World Wars.
The omen for us? That we have abandoned reason and kindness in exchange for polarizing ideologies that reject reason and kindness.
