    @@theadel8591 remember they doubted even something so unreliable as oral tradition, but when it was Greek oral tradition it was accurate enough to locate 3000 year old ruins. Also Persians could write down whatever they wanted to, if we have more records from the Greeks than the Persians it's because Greeks are the founders of the dominant culture even today.

    +Question Everything and do you really wanna replied your ignorance? Greece play a major factor of changing the balance of war :-) from moral to preparation of crucials moments of war actually i was studying history at university and prepared a paper diploma for my graduated and that was for this era of war so if you a nobody like you say without even arguing your statements with me that '' they did not '' then what can i say.??.... all over the world have recognized their major help but of course a average person that do not even have readed once or made a research on his own and do not even be ever able in this life representing it to other professors and people its just a shame .... no knowledge no nothing just a hilarious respond from a hilarious person .... go sleep as we scientist do something important :-) Have a nice day.... no need for a replied from a person like you
