| HannibalBarca3 12/14/20 2:57:00 AM #3: | For me it's a shame we don't have the perspective from other people in antiquity. Take for example the Thracians, they didn't leave us any writings behind so we have to rely on what the Greeks wrote about them to have some idea on who the Thracians were. Sorta similar to the Persians, and while there is inscriptions behind, we get a lot of the history of the Achemenid Empire from a helenocentric viewpoint. Episodes like the Greco-Persian Wars are seen from a Greek perspective and it's very possible that the Persians didn't see it as a big deal. --- Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.
