Herodotus, The History of Herodotus, George Rawlinson, tr. vol. 4 (New York: D.

Appleman and Company, 1885), bk. 7 Throughout the Persian and Greek wars there were

many different battles that ensued between the two nations, in which one of the most

memorable and strategically placed was that of Thermopylae, or the Hot Gates. This was

where the two armies meet one one side was the Persian horde lead by their king Xerxes

and the other the Greek army lead by Leonidas, in which was a coalition of different city

state soldiers. The source then recounts in detail the events of the battle from the start, in

which the Greeks learn of the incoming Persian army, to the finish, in which Leonidas

and his fellow Spartans are killed.

key battle of the Persian and Greek war, it was when the greater Persian navy was

defeated by a smaller better equipped navy of the Greek coalition. In the battle the Greek

general Themistocles was able to persuade the Greek navy to remain at Salamis and not

and created the Persian empire to its old boundaries and borders, that included some of

the greek settlements that were along the coast, who rebelled. Athens provided help to the

revolutionists which angered the Persians and lead to the launching of an invasion of

Greece. More or less than half of the Persian army was destroyed in a storm, Darius after

a while then sent an even stronger force and was then defeated at the battle of Marathon.

Darius died before another invasion could be launched and the next king in line Xerxes

waited and then followed suit and launched another invasion of Greece.

invasion.htm>. In this source the author expands on the key points of what is known

about the Persian and Greek war, many people say that there are two wars, but this is not

true due to the fact that Darius died before he could continue his war. Throughout the

entire war the Persian army always had a greater size than the Greeks, usual encounters

had the Greeks at a 10:1 ratio of force size. Even though they didn’t have the superiority

with size the Greeks still compensated with having the greater courage, honor and

determination to stop the Persians and their conquest of the Greek homeland. At the end

of the war the Persian King Xerxes found that is was improbable and nearly impossible to

govern Persia from a far and retreated back to the Persian mainland, later a treaty was

enacted between the Greeks and the Persians

<http://campus.lakeforest.edu/academics/greece/PersWarsTL.html>. In this source it

explains the beginning to the end of the Persian and Greek war from the creation of the

Persian empire to the eventual defeat of the Persians. The timeline starts out with the sack

of the Assyrian empire and how it split into four different nations that were reconstructed

back into a central empire by the Persian king Cyrus. Cyrus died and the King Darius

came into power with control over all of the four parts of the Assyrian empire. The Greek

colonies/city states tried to resist the rule but were conquered. Athens provided help

which angered the Persians and lead to the launching of an invasion of Greece. More or

less than half of the Persian army was destroyed in a storm, Darius after a while then sent

an even stronger force and was then defeated at the battle of Marathon. Darius died

before another invasion could be launched and the next king in line Xerxes waited and

then followed suit and launched another invasion of Greece. The king was again defeated

and peace treaties were signed between the two countries and peace ensued.

stapleton-themistocles/>. The legacy of Themistocles is portrayed as a larger than life

figure and to do this I needed a picture from the recent movie in which he was portrayed

in, thus adding to the overall effect of what his legacy has done to the world around us

today both in film and military prowess. 

Uebersax, John. “aÏ Î•Î¤Î·.” N.d. MS. This source talks about Greek honor and how it was a basis

to the Greek culture, also this allows for me to add to the overall depth and quality of the

website when I talk about how the Greek leaders came together and were able to bring

Greece together and fight off this invasion due to their moral honor and determination

due to Arete. 

Wikipedia. “Ancient Persia.” Ancient History Encyclopedia. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 Nov. 2014.

<http://www.ancient.eu/Persia/>. This website helps to add information into the part of

the website which details the Persian empire and will help add good information and

depth hopefully it will help to the credibility of my website. 

Xerxes. N.d. Memoirs of a Neophyte. Web. 28 Feb. 2015. <http://catechumen-

memoirs.blogspot.com/2007/03/madness-this-is-sparta.html>. This picture helps to add

to the depth of my website in which I talk about Xerxes and how he affected the world

Xerxes and Ship Battles. Battle of Salamis. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Mar. 2015.

<http://joseph_berrigan.tripod.com/ancientbabylon/id29.html>. For this source I used two

pictures from it and both of them helped to add to the part of my website which details

the battle of Salamis and the events and actions that happened. Also both pictures are of

good quality and pixelation allowing for greater use out of them due to the fact that they

retain their focus as i move, crop and change the photos.
