		Kagan[base ']s perspective on events and personalities at first suggests an admirable desire to see the war with fresh and unsentimental eyes.
		DeLong's post also has some good insights into the war, and he expresses the strength of Athens from a perspective I hadn't considered before:
		The article also takes a pretty good swipe at Victor Davis Hanson, which is great good fun to read--I find Hanson to be endlessly annoying for missing the intent of the classical authors in his hawkish zeal.

	Greco-Persian Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Greco-Persian Wars or Persian Wars were a series of conflicts between the Greek world and the Persian Empire that started about 500 BC and lasted until 448 BC.
		For the Greeks, the Persian Wars engendered a consciousness of Greek unity, but the reality was short-lived, and a mere twenty years later the Greek world was torn apart by the Peloponnesian War.
		The Persians never really renounced their ambitions, and continued to meddle in Greek affairs in a sort of "cold war"; seducing cities with diplomacy and/or buying them off with gold, and employing Greek mercenaries (most famously Xenophon), until Alexander put an end to the Persian empire.

	Parthian Army - (CAIS)
		The Greco-Persian wars and Alexander's victories proved that light-armed troops could not stop heavy, well-trained, and brilliantly led infantry of the type of hoplites or phalanx.
		They used no war chariots, and confined the use of the wagon to transporting females accompanying commanders on expeditions [147].
		The nature of their state and political conditions combined with lessons of history enforced an unusual military structure in Parthia: North Iranian nomads constantly threatened eastern borders while in the west first the Seleucids and then the Romans were ever ready for full-scale invasions.

	The Greco-Persian Wars (Peter Green) - book review
		While The Greco-Persian Wars is a scholarly volume, with the full apparatus of notes and bibliography, it has the feel of more popular writing: one can sense Green's other calling as a historical novelist.
		Physically The Greco-Persian Wars is an attractive volume, with a nice selection of halftones and a dozen maps (though many of these have no scale or indication of north, or, rather distractingly, show modern roads and towns).
		The Greco-Persian Wars is a reissue of an earlier (1969) work, The Year of Salamis.

	ELECTRONIC ANTIQUITY V4N1
		The first covers the period from the foundation of the Persian empire down to the battle of Marathon, looking at the development of Sparta, Athens and other Greeks and how the various parties came into a collision which could only be settled by a major war.
		This book is a thorough, readable account of the Persian Wars, directed to the general reader, rather than the student or the academic.
		The account of the battle of Plataea also reconstructs an elaborate battle plan, with Pausanias luring the Persians to fight on ground more favourable to the Greeks by a feigned retreat, and explains the actions of the Greek centre, which Herodotus dismisses as disordered, as tardy, but fulfilling their part of the plan.

	All Empires History Forum: Why do Turks think they are so brave?
		Still,those Hellens were really outnumbered by the other nations of the Great King.Concerning the Hella-Persian wars in general,Hellens were really outnymbered by the Persians.
		However, I have met many American men who fought in the Korean war and would know I'm Turkish just by my name, they would always tell me stories on their experiences fighting along side with Turks and that they are the most fearless and disciplined soldiers they have ever met.
		Turks have been outnumbered very significantly?I doubt about that.Then,what the Hellens can say?In 99% of their wars they were always fewer from their enemies, from the ancient times up to now.Concerning Turkish wars,if we take those from the collapse of the Byzantine empire until WWI,there are very few were the Turks were outnumbered and,yet,not significantly.
