Even Persia is known as made up of some tribes, people are abandoned, and easily left their homes when the number was powerful. I know this to observe the Persians: there are no images of their gods, temples or altars, and use in them. It comes to the society where they don’t believe in God, with their hearts, does not understand nature or concept of men. It was at the beginning of the War that Herodotus finished his story and published it. It was something new, unique. Local history is not a story. In the past, it was an investigation. Herod did not write his work at that time. Herodotus spoke to the Persian prison in her letter, and the rise of the imperials and the demolition and the finalists increased. …show more content…

    “If we do go to war, have no thought that you went to war over a trivial affair” (Thucydides, in Hunt 101). The Peloponnesian War lasted longer than any other pervious war in Greece. The war began in 431 BCE with Sparta’s invasion of Athens. The Athenians sacrificed the destruction of their private property in order to hide in the safety of their city. The Long Walls of Athens protected its citizens and preserved its population. The Spartans however had the upper hand in infantry while the Athenians were superior at sea. With the aid of Persia, Sparta eventually defeats Athens at Syracuse in 404 BCE after a continuous twenty-seven years at war (Hunt 104). The creation of the Delian League, the reign of Pericles, the aggravation of Corinth, and the refusal to negotiate made Athens the sole instigator for the long and violent Peloponnesian War.…

    While the city of Troy was being burned and sacked, a survivor known as Aeneas would begin a mission to deprive the Greeks of their victory of Troy not through the sword and spear, but through his words. Aeneas knew that the Greeks would tout themselves as brave strategists who managed to outwit the Trojans.

    Revolts had occurred in Persian Empire before, and when they occurred they were dealt with quickly and strongly. Rebellious states and individuals were punished to deter others in following their lead. The threat of military force combined with a knowledgeable and efficient ruling system, the Persian Empire was successfully held together. During Darius’ expedition into Europe in 513 – 512 BC, the Ionians played an important role by supplying ships for transportation and for the construction of boat bridges over the Bosporus and the River Danube. This expedition resulted in the extension of Persian influence into the western regions of the Black Sea, the Propontis, Thrace and Macedonia. Eventually, this extension of influence had a harmful effect on the trading activities of the Greek Ionians. After Cambyses’ invasion of Egypt in 525 BC, trade between Ionia and the Egyptian city of Naucratis stopped completely. Also, Darius’ conquest in Europe interrupted established Ionian trading centres, which had provided Ionia with grain, silver, timber and slaves. Around this time, Athenian goods began to appear in Ionian marketplaces, the Ionian Greeks lost their dominant trade position in the Aegean and Black Seas and this resulted in their economic wealth declining. However, according to Herodotus, the direct cause of the Ionian revolt was the ambitions and plots of the tyrant Aristogoras. Although, it is unlikely that the ambitions of one man caused the Ionians to take such drastic action against the Persians. A brief outline of Herodotus’ accounts follows; In approximately 500 BC a group of exile aristocrats from Naxos pleaded with Aristogoras to help them return to control, in agreement, Aristorgoras advised them to seek help from Persians also. He advised they approach Artaphernes, satrap of Sardis. Also, after consultation with Darius, Artaphernes agreed to help reinstate the exile and supplied 200 triremes from the Greek…

    Storytelling is a way to explain the unknown, provide moral and ethical guidelines, and put good and bad human interactions into context for children. With the gods, heroines, and villains in Greek Mythology, children can be taught about values, courage, treachery, weakness, and the flaws of human nature. While the myths of the Greek gods are centered in the religion and culture of the ancient times, the stories continue to be parables to teach and entertain children today. The mystery and supernatural fears of ancient Greece have been overtaken by modern times, but the fundamentals of human nature remain unchanged and create opportunities to teach in a way that captures the imaginary…
