The Persian Wars in 5 Minutes

Фильм және анимация

The Persian Wars were fought between the Greeks and Persians over two thousand years ago. Their battles originated for many of the same reasons wars happen today - resources, pride, revenge and prejudice.

    Also when Cyrus the Great invaded Greece. The king of Greece told the Iranians we are fighting for honor but you for wealth! And Cyrus the Great replied: Yes, everyone fights for what he does not have !!! (:

    actually Leonitus took roughly 7000 men to thermoplaly, but a Greek trator told the Persians of a secret passage the Persians could take to get behind the spartans. When the Spartans found out all but 300 men retreated. The Spartans fought till death. when Leonitus was killed the Spartans defended it desperately, but the Persians killed all 300 Spartans decapitated Leonitus's head and put it on a spear, walked to Athens, and but it to the ground.

    Darius was not son of Cyrus but a distant cousin. Notes: to compare Persian and Greek society, in Persia, slavery was forbidden all workers including those who built Persepolis, the system was based on meritocracy not race so many greeks could reach to high ranks in Persia, unlike greeks women had good status, Artemisia of Caria was an example of a greek woman leading Persian navy, freedom of religion was enforced, Darius erected the second temple of jews and many temples for egyptians, pax Iranica which lasted for centuries made a peaceful atmosphere for triving culture

    SHARK MASTER It wasn't just his 300 soldiers by the end. The Thespians refused to retreat and the Thebans were thought to be turncoats so Leonidas forced them to remain to show they were not and to ensure their military power was smaller if they did join the other city states that surrendered to Persia. There was probably about 1,500 men who remained to sacrifice their lives for the Athenian people and all of Greece.

    Styx Hellmouth It’s hard to say who did the most. If not for the Athenians at sea then the battle would have been ended in a day, as the Persians would have flanked the Greeks on land (as they later did) via a sea landing. The Spartans also never fought alone, right up until the end they’re we’re Greeks from otter city states with them who refused to flee when ordered to. At the end they were supposedly fighting with fists and teeth. But certainly the 300 Spartans characterise the event and the spirit of the battle.

    Not only language united Greeks but also religion, Olympic Games and the contract to alliance against foreigners (that's why in the Troyan War, in the 13th cent. BCE, all Greeks were obliged to participate against foreigners). Athens' feeling of superiority in the 5th cent. was bcs of DEMOCRACY. Athens did not have Monarchy or King since the 11th cent.BCE. They were free people enjoying voting rights, laws, courts, education, ALL LAYPEOPLE, from the poorer to the richer. That was INCONCEIVABLE at that time for the whole world!!! They fought against Persians as free men, for their own defence and freedom, not as slaves of a king. If you wonder, I am a tour guide. By coincidence I came accross this video, which could be much better. (Nothing at all is mentioned about Democracy and Filosophy which are the most fundamental factors accountable for Greeks' high sense of self Importance...) If there are questions, you're free to ask.

    2:03 Darius was not the son of Cyrus. Cyrus had many children such as Cambyses, Atossa, and Smerdis. Cambyses became king after Cyrus and died in 522 bc. Then Smerdis came to power, Darius linked then killer Smerdis and made up a story saying that the real Smerdis was dead and that the one on the throne was an imposter (as stated on the darius inscription and Bisitun Inscription). Darius linked himself to the old persian kings (mainly Achaemenes). Darius then went on to marry Atossa (Cyrus' daughter) but was not the son of Cyrus.

    Most of western histories about Greco-Persian wars are aligned with the current political situation in the world! Greeks are the father of the west and Persians are the father of all the evil of East (including Islam and tyranny). THEY ARE WRONG. Persian Empire was run under a federal system, There were many Greeks in Persian Empire and as a matter of fact the Persian Navy in invading Greece composed of mostly Greek people! the Admiral of the fleet was Greek! This was not an ideological war, this was an ancient war for dominance and power. Persians adopted Greek philosophy and architecture in their society and life style (Please take a look at Persepolis ruins as an example), so they didn't want to destroy it! PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE THE HISTORY.

    Darius was not Cyrus' son. Most historians believe darius wasn't related to cyrus at all (even though Darius claimed to be a fairly distant relative of Cyrus). Cyrus' sons were both dead before Darius took power. The story of Darius' rise to the throne is a fantastic story/mystery that is far less known than it should be....if you're ever looking for a new topic to cover.

    Love the video, I''ll be using it in class as an introduction but a few notes: The Battle of Thermopylae included more than 5000 allied greek soldiers working together, the Spartan 300 force of hoplites was the most elite, but not the only ones there. Most of the forces ended up fleeing when the battle was going poorly most fled (or were ordered to leave) but the 300 Spartans (and 700 Thespians) remained. This aftermath of this battle didn't inspire the alliance since they were allied before the battle.

    Depends what side you were on. If you were Greek the Persians were both evil and inferior and if you were Persian, well the Greeks were not probably seen as 100% evil, but as inferior subordinates. The Persians believed they were the conquerors of the world - but their main reason to conquer was to give law and order to the world.

Instead Greek culture, government of free citizens and rational analysis became the foundations of 'western civilization. NT

According to our actual knowledge the Persians didn't have more than 50.000 soldiers.I just wanted to revise some basic infos before the exam in a fast way, and I found your video. However it did help me, cause I had to read more sources. Thank you actually 😅 good thing is the animation.

    in parantez (if arabs never invaided persia, arabs still eating crocodiles and living in only saudi and yemen, and persia became the strongest and most civilized country ever) persia I say meaning, all nations included the ancient middle east, which lost their language and culture after Arab invasion, and in some parts mixed with Arabs, (in some parts only) and as I listed ,world wide futures suck as Christmas, new year, marriage tradition, clothing mod, king crown, marriage ring, high heels, makeup, earnings, knight's, archery, explosives,Medical knowledge, kemisteri, understanding of culture, when Greece's came to meet persians they never know anything about nationality ,they did't know that how it feels to be one, and have same lifestyle, first banks, first roads, first water bridges, the bridge which connected Europe to Asia (between Istanbul and turkey) was built by Cyrus order,the first wine in the world, was traditional persian style ,which later been take to euroup,persia was also the first cou try which interdicted slavery, they first nation which allowed women lead armies,(read banoo Artemisia history 500 bc)first food desserts, first everything I read by my own eyes In tusand ancient Texts Both from romans, greece and persian and egyptian historia Books in mer ting the and Kent persians, and west world and media never talks about, yes ,becouse persia effected the world so much that the world don't even think of, that's why they think persia did't do much in the world, that's becouse more than 70% of anything in the world started by persians and Mesopotamia ... these should be told now... I don't care if you call me anything, I know that the media won't tell these ever, intill persia comes back one day, so I tell these to everybody read and undrestand that 4000 years kingdom and tradition did't existed with out no present for this world.its not my fault that my country is fucked up today, små as greece but i want the media talk about my countries historia, same as they talk about greece and egyptians ,ty för Reading and Peace 🙏

    tjah shawn blah blah blah Arabs who eat crocodiles invaded Persia and shat on it... and that's good!. also the ancient middle east is Semite! Persians and Romans and Greeks colonized it, and we Arabs took it back. the Semites of the middle east lost there culture to the Pershits and Romans and Greeks!. the Pershits tried to Persianized the Semites and made Cetisphon there capital to strengthen and Iranianize Mesopotamia, Causing the ancient languages of the Semites (Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian) to go instinct!. the Romans and Greeks Hellenized and Latinized the Levant Causing one of the first and ancient languages in the world to go instinct! (Phoenician, Punic) and other Semitic languages that existed before there colonization!. when the Arabs Conquered the Levant and Mesopotamia, they only saw Arabs in Syria and Jordan, southern Palestine (along side the Sinai peninsula), southern and western Iraq. Assyrians who spoke Syriac in northern Iraq and Persians in central Iraq. Arameans who spoke Aramaic and Greeks and Romans in western Syria, Lebanon, northern Palestine. and these people still exist and there languages are still spoken to this day!.

    Ehsan_iq, arabs didn’t take these lands back, they just took it over when they were weak and forced the Persians to practice the Muslim religion, an invented religion who got influenced by the Zoroastrians, the official Persian religion, same thing with the Christian religion and the Jewish religion. So the arabs only invaded those lands for power and erased many cultures and replaced it with a religion one man came up with in his preference. Fuck man if they wouldn’t take the Persians over, the Muslim religion would have only been a small shit with very few people practising it. All you said was that they ruined the Persians and that it’s a good thing? Nigga you good?
