Persia & Greece

Today in class we read a book about the war between Persia and Greece. This occurred before Christ. Persia was led by Xerxes a weird and cruel man. He had people build a bridge over a strait that was a mile wide. This was made by stringing boats together with rope. Greece on the other hand was assisted by Sparta the greatest power when it comes to warfare. The Spartans held them off until a traitor showed the Persians a way around the narrow pass.
