In his book The Histories‚ Herodotus doesn’t attack Xerxes but describes him in two ways. Firstly‚ a typical King whose subjects feared him and secondly‚ a ruler punished by the gods for his arrogant use of power. Herodotus uses the bridging of Hellespont and destroying the Greek temples as examples of Xerxes arrogance. Herodotus also writes about instances of Xerxes being

For example‚ Herodotus recorded that in 480 BC‚ King Leonidas lead a small army consisting of 300 Spartans (with several thousand other Greek soldiers)‚ who were to confront the powerful Persian army in a battle which is now known as the Battle of Thermopylae.

superior leadership from commanders such as Themistocles and Leonidas‚ the effective Greek strategy and the cooperation of all the Greek city states to unite against a common threat.
