#GRECO-PERSIAN WARS EVENTS

  • In the generation before 522, the Persian kings Cyrus II and Cambyses II extended their rule from the Indus River valley to the Aegean Sea. After the defeat of the Lydian king Croesus (c. 546), the Persians gradually conquered the small Greek city-states along the Anatolian coast.
  • In 522 Darius came to power and set about consolidating and strengthening the Persian empire.

  • In 500 BCE the Greek city-states on the western coast of Anatolia rose up in rebellion against Persia.
  • This uprising, known as the Ionian revolt (500–494 BCE), failed, but its consequences for the mainland Greeks were momentous. Athens and Eretria had sent a small fleet in support of the revolt, which Darius took as a pretext for launching an invasion of the Greek mainland. His forces advanced toward Europe in 492 BCE, but, when much of his fleet was destroyed in a storm, he returned home
  • . However, in 490 a Persian army of 25,000 men landed unopposed on the Plain of Marathon, and the Athenians appealed to Sparta to join forces against the invader.
  • Owing to a religious festival, the Spartans were detained, and the 10,000 Athenians had to face the Persians aided only by 1,000 men from Plataea.
  • The Athenians were commanded by 10 generals, the most daring of whom was Miltiades. While the Persian cavalry was away, he seized the opportunity to attack.
  • The Greeks won a decisive victory, losing only 192 men to the Persians’ 6,400 (according to the historian Herodotus)
  • The Greeks then prevented a surprise attack on Athens itself by quickly marching back to the city.

#Darius I

  • Darius I seated before two incense burners, detail of a bas-relief of the north courtyard in the Treasury at Persepolis, late 6th–early 5th century BCE;

  • After their defeat at Marathon, the Persians went home, but they returned in vastly greater numbers 10 years later, led by Darius’s successor, Xerxes
  • . The unprecedented size of his forces made their progress quite slow, giving the Greeks plenty of time to prepare their defense. A general Greek league against Persia was formed in 481.
  • Command of the army was given to Sparta, that of the navy to Athens. The Greek fleet numbered about 350 vessels and was thus only about one-third the size of the Persian fleet. Herodotus estimated the Persian army to number in the millions, but modern scholars tend to doubt his reportage.
  • The Greeks decided to deploy a force of about 7,000 men at the narrow pass of Thermopylae and a force of 271 ships under Themistocles at Artemisium. Xerxes’ forces advanced slowly toward the Greeks, suffering losses from the weather.

STALIN [3.7K]

<u>Answer: </u>

The state statutes would be the sources of law that the legal counsel would not need to consult.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The issue that the white house is concerned about is of direct national interest and has not much to do with the statutes of the states comprising the United States.
  • Hence, in order to find a relevant interpretation, the counsel would most likely have to consult the federal statutes and international treaties associated with the issue.

Acceptance of selve decreases and acceptance of selves increases in older adults?
Crank

Answer:

Acceptance of <em>ideal and future</em> selves decreases and acceptance of <em>past </em>selves increases in older adults?

Explanation:

In the earlier stages of adulthood people are more focused on their <u>ideal and future selves</u>. They put a lot of effort to create certain life for themselves in the future. For example, have a stable well paying job, a big house and a family. They accept the vision of ideal selves and work towards making it real.

Meanwhile, with the process of aging and entering later stages of adulthood, people realize their life may not have unfolded as they intended. They realize that the larger half of life is already completed and tend to accept their <u>past selves</u>. An individual with a healthy mindset would look back and appreciate the journey he or she went through and even see that it turned out to be better than was planned.
