for those who don't know or don't want to say the whole truth,Ancient Greece wasn't only Athens,Korinthos,Sparta and Thebes.other territories were also Greek,such as Macedonia,Thessalia,Thrake,etc­.

this is historical evidence and you should present it,as it is.

@Kamadeva01 clarify why it is preaching to deaf ears? is your ears one of them?

[Kamadeva01]

@rouzbeh61 no my ID is not indian it's Ka+Ma+Deva...Deva is the city in my country where i was born and "Ka/Ma" ar my names (Kaminski Marius)...i'm polish-romanian.

and again, you're preaching to deaf ears.

@Kamadeva01 Your ID is Indian, and you can be a jealous one like as many as I have meet on the net, but I am not sure about your real identity, so nothing more about that. Here is free and I can preach were ever I want. I say truth and here a place to debunk euro-centric vision on history. Alexander could not erase the Persia because of its vast land. In fact he claim himself and Achaemenid king to receive the public support. He started to grow interest in Persian culture.

@rouzbeh61 "my side", dude i'm neither greek nor do I care about them, you're just in denial...whoever said history is written by the winner(s) never spoke truer words.

i wonder what carthage would have to say about the romans...oh, wait they were wiped out(city and all), consider it lucky that Alexander didn't erase persia from existence, true fact.

and this is my 2nd and last reply + some advice, don't preach on the internet, no one listens, even if you're right.

gday.

@Kamadeva01 If you want to be fair you better mention your side of defeats as well. About the numbers it is highly exaggerated there is no single proof that show how Herodotus count the Persian troops. Even now many historian question credibility of Herodotus about the early greco-persian wars. Modern historian put the numbers between 40k to 75k and that the number of combatant. In thermopylae the Greek numbers were more that 300, each spartan had 8 helots and there were other greeks too.

@Kamadeva01 if you read history then you know there have boon hundreds of battle between Persia and Greece. the only parts that Europeans glorify are the skirmishes of Xerxes and Alexander. They never mention many Greeks defeats at the hands of Persians. From sea battles to lands battles in more than 200 years they were constantly kept in bay and defeated, until Alexander came with Macedonian army in time of chaos in Persia. Nobody question Alexander military talent.
