		Greek drama was born, according to modern scholars' best conjectures, in 534 BCE at one of the many annual festivals honoring Dionysus.
		The festival was no longer an expression of revelry and ritual but a bona fide industry of its own, with strict rules governing selection of the playwright and producer as well as specific guidelines for appointing judges and tabulating votes.
		In 431 BCE, however, Athens was plunged into the endless Peloponnesian War against Sparta and the Spartan Allies.

		y 546 BCE, Cyrus had defeated Croesus, the Lydian king of fabled wealth, and had secured control of the Aegean coast of Asia Minor, Armenia, and the Greek colonies along the Levant.
		It was Cyrus and Darius who, by sound and farsighted administrative planning, brilliant military maneuvering, and a humanistic worldview, established the greatness of the Achaemenids and in less than thirty years raised them from an obscure tribe to a world power.
		By the time his successor, Artaxerxes I, died in 424 BCE, the imperial court was beset by factionalism among the lateral family branches, a condition that persisted until the death in 330 of the last of the Achaemenids, Darius III, at the hands of his own subjects.

		Frazer places Hesiod at around 750 BCE (p.47) and argues that his works were influenced by "first, the literature of Homeric poetry; secondly the unwritten local and tribal traditions of the Greeks; and thirdly, (though this is questioned by some authorities), the mythological literature of the Ancient Near East" (p.
		Athanassakis places Hesiod somewhere between 750 BCE and 625 BCE and argues that "there is no compelling reason for the assumption that Hesiod either preceded Homer or even that he was his contemporary" (1983: 1).
		The references to the king in these prognostications could be associated with Marduk's position as king of the Gods, but because most of the omen literature pertains to the affairs of the state and the king often figures in the communications, this argument is rather weak.

	Thucydides
		The results of this democratic approach to warfare were not always happy, and the Athenians abandoned it to raise a professional army after heavy losses reduced their population.
		That is, Thucydides attempted to develop history from a scientific rather than a mythical basis, rejecting the supernatural and composing a history that revealed underlying social pressures and political principles.
		The policy is expressed forcefully in extracts from a debate between envoys from an Athenian expedition to capture Melos in 416 BCE and the Melian leaders themselves.

		Darius III was the son of Artaxerxes; when Alexander the Great set his designs on the Persian Empire, king Darius was far richer and his army was vastly more numerous than the Greek invaders but the Persians lacked the discipline and leadership that the Greeks had acquired through centuries of internal fighting.
		The first confrontation with Alexander’s army was on the narrow plains of Issus in 333 BCE; Darius disgraced himself by deserting his army and running away from the fight; in 331 Darius again faced Alexander’s army near the city of Gaugamela and again Darius fled, leaving his army to certain defeat.
		Alexander pursued Darius for the next year and, in 330 BCE, confronted the remnants of the Persian army in eastern Persia; the Persian generals finally killed Darius and left his dead body for Alexander thus ending all resistance to the Greek invasion of the Persian Empire.
