One of the most thrilling historical novels on the legendary Battle of Thermopylae is “Gates of Fire” by Steven Pressfield.

Truly epic.

Despite having been enemies in antiquity, as a Greek person, I have huge respect for the Persian people and civilization. Along with Greeks, Israelites, Armenians, Georgians, Egyptians and Arabs, they have a heritage of millenniums. All the above ethnicities have a very long history in these lands. Respect to all.

erxes' invasion of Greece was such a monumental event in history! 😲🌍 It’s fascinating to think about the scale of the Persian Empire’s ambitions and the immense challenge they faced against the Greek city-states. The strategic maneuvers and the sheer scale of the conflict were incredible. 🏛⚔
The contrast between Xerxes’ vast resources and the determined Greek resistance is truly striking. It’s amazing how a relatively small force managed to withstand such a powerful empire. The naval battles, especially at Salamis, were a game-changer. 🚢🛡
Also, Xerxes’ leadership and the logistical challenges of maintaining such a massive army are worth noting. The difficulties he faced in coordinating and sustaining the invasion reveal a lot about the complexities of ancient warfare and diplomacy. 📜🗺
It’s a reminder of how pivotal these historical events were in shaping the course of Western civilization. Truly a fascinating period with lasting impacts! 🌟📚

Could you do HG Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle love the video ❤

Xerxes is one of the most misunderstood people in history. Contrary to Herodotus' portrait of him, Xerxes was quite a skillful king who like his father before him, managed to keep the empire together, initiated huge infrastructure, and promoted the arts, which flourished Persian culture. But because he lost the Greco-persian wars, he is remembered as a mad tyrant, which is unfair.

Please make a video about his grandfather Cyrus The Great of Persia

No toilet paper, no flush toilets, no refrigerator, no toothpaste, no mint chocolate chip ice cream.... tough times

and I still want to know why Zack Snyder made him look like a homosexual demon in 300

War, I think, is like football/soccer. If the manager is brave and wise, they can completely change the outcome of a losing game on the ground.
