Overall Idea of the Persian Wars
•
•
•
•
Who: Persia versus Greece
Where: Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis
When: 499-480BC
Why: The Persian tried to conquer Greek cities and
they rebelled, defending their homeland.
• What: They fight a series of 4 wars. The Persians are
defeated and humiliated. The Greeks were successful
and the Greek’s spirit triumphed, especially Athens.
Though allies during the war, the great Greek states
of Sparta and Athens will become enemies after the
Persian Wars.
For the Persians, this defeat was humiliating, but it
was not a major blow. Their empire remained
strong. For the Greeks, the defeat of the Persians
was a triumph. Though Athens and Sparta fought
together against Persia, their friendship didn’t last
long. Jealous at the praise and glory Athens
received after the war, Sparta resented Athens. This
creates a rivalry between the two most powerful
city-states in Greece.
