Quote:Denial. :roll: Sad to see some Iranian scholars resorting to such garbage in light of the release of 300... hopefully most Iranians are smart enough to accept what happened.
Arguably an even worse article is this one by Cyrus Kar, who is directing a documentary about Cyrus the Great.

He refers to the Spartans as 'Greek Jihadists who lived only to die', and says that anyone who supported the Spartans during the battle may as well have supported Osama bin Laden... though he has much knowledge of Persia, he needs to read a bit more on the Greeks.
I like the comment
What stretches the limits of hypocrisy is that there isn't a single shred of archeological evidence that the Persians ever owned slaves.
What did they call eunachs who were forcibly parted with their 'essentials'......?
Persia, which was once a haven for runaway slaves from Egypt, Greece, and later Rome
probably all lost their 'essentials' too :roll:
In monarchic Persia, however, women enjoyed a level of gender equality unmatched even to this day
You can say that again.....I pity some of those poor women... :x

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
