Good points...
I will agree with Jona that Miller took to many liberties in his comic. I hated his view of the Persians. Why did he make Xerxes a negro..? Give me a break, the Persians are Aryians..!
Can we not agree that the concept of Democracy orginated with the Greeks? Regardless of the contradictions (Helots, only men voting, etc...)? Did Persia give us the concept consensual government..? I would not like to live under Athenian Democracy or a Roman Republic because of their imperfections and contradictions. Although we have to admit that these ancient governments blazed the trail for what we Americans and Europeans enjoy today....
