Open response : Answer each question in at least TWO COMPLETE sentences
22. Explain two factors enabled the Athenians to win the Battle of Marathon?
The
Athenians military general, Miltiades, superior military strategy to stretch out the
________________________________________________________________________________________________
phalanx to surround the Persians. In addition, the strongest Persian troops, the cavalry,
________________________________________________________________________________________________
were sent to Athens so the Athenians could take advantage of their superior weapons
and infantry to defeat the Persians
23. Why was the location of Thermopylae beneficial to the Spartans? Why were they ultimately
unsuccessful here?
The
narrow pass at Thermopylae(geography) allowed the Spartans to set up a strong
________________________________________________________________________________________________
phalanx
wall and this did not allow the Persians to use their enormous numbers
________________________________________________________________________________________________
causing them to suffer severe losses. However, a Greek traitor showed the Persians
________________________________________________________________________________________________
a secret
pass behind the Spartans, ultimately causing the Greek loss at Thermopylae.
24. Why did Themistocles want to fight the Persian navy at Salamis? Then describe the outcome of the
Battle of Salamis.
Off
the coast of the island of Salamis, there was a narrow channel that Themistocles knew
________________________________________________________________________________________________
the Persian warships would have a difficult time maneuvering. So he tricked Xerxes into
________________________________________________________________________________________________
thinking the Greeks were still un-unified and luring him into the channel. So once the
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Persian
warships were in the narrow channel, the lighter Greek warships surrounded and
destroyed nearly 200 Persian ships causing the Persian retreat.
