Do you think persian kings told their people" we, the greatest superpower in the world, will invade Sparta to control all of the trade in the Mediterranean because we are a greedy bunch and because we can, and because our leader is a mad idiot who wants to continue the mad war of his bloody father"?
Or do you think they said " Our God leader who receives direct divine inspiration from heaven will lead us in a winning and just war against the evil and barbaric Spartans. We are the good, and the Spartans are the bad and if you do not believe that you are an unpatriotic filth"

Do you think a Persian citizen then could ever believe that he actually belongs to the a greedy super power? Do you think he/she would ever consider that maybe the Spartans, their religion, their customs and their values aren't as bad as everybody says? That maybe their stand against a super power despite their weakness makes them some form of heroes?!!
Doesn't the past shed light on the present?
