    The Greco-Persian wars lasted for more than half a century in some respects. Some date the war as being from BCE while others date the conflict from BCE. Either way, the war itself was a disaster for both sides.

    During the war with Persia, the Greeks even fought amongst themselves in the First Peloponnesian War from and then again in the Second Peloponnesian War from BCE. For their part, the Persians lost territory during this conflict with the various Greek states and, in doing so, lost a sense of supremacy in the region. On a darker note, Persia’s losses also fueled Greek supremacy, eventually leading to the rise of Alexander the Great of Macedonia. As we know, Alexander would invade Persia and conquer it without hesitation. Nevertheless, it is not the focus of this piece to delve into the various Greek wars or Alexander’s invasion of Persia, but rather look into how and why the Greco-Persian wars started in the first place!
