	PrimaryHistory562BCE
		The Athenians had a myth that Medus, son of Medea of Colchis (former wife of Jason of the Argonauts), had a son by Aegeus, king of Athens, that she fled to Asia and her son became the founder of the Medes.
		Perhaps the Ionian mercenaries then, via their contacts with the Mother country, Greece, introduced to the Jews, the notion that the Medes were the descendants of a Greek king of Athens ? In Greek myths, the Titan Iapetos, was considered to be the ancestor of all Greeks.
		This would mean that Cyrus and all the kings of Persia who claimed descent from him, were of Japhethic lineage, in that the Athenian Greek myths make Medus the founder of the Medes.

	Persepolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was most remarkable that the impious act of Xerxes, king of the Persians, against the acropolis at Athens should have been repaid in kind after many years by one woman, a citizen of the land which had suffered it, and in sport.
		Ctesias mentions further, with regard to a number of Persian kings, either that their remains were brought "to the Persians," or that they died there.
		The Sassanian kings have covered the face of the rocks in this neighbourhood, and in part even the Achaemenian ruins, with their sculptures and inscriptions, and must themselves have built largely here, although never on the same scale of magnificence as their ancient predecessors.

		On the north side of the Acropolis stands the counterpart and complement of the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the oikos of Erechtheus, the mythical king who was originally worshipped on this spot.
		The coffers on the ceiling were once picked out in vivid colours and set at the centre with a bronze rosette, while the wonderful portal leading into the temple is, for all the later repairs, the finest example of a doorway bequeathed from Greek antiquity - lavishly ornamented with cymatia, palmettes and rosettes.

	Acropolis, Athens
		At first it served both as the stronghold of the kings of Athens and as the site of the city's oldest shrines; later it was reserved for the service of the divinities of Athens alone.
		This religious center of ancient Athens, which received its classical form in the time of Pericles, thus reflected the humane values of Greek culture and thoughts which have retained their power down to our own day.
		Inside the Themistoclean north wall and Kimon's south wall the ground surface was built up, using the remains of buildings and sculpture which had been destroyed or damaged by the Persians.

	Thrasymachus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		They either deal with rhetorical issues or they are excerpts from speeches (DK85b1 and b2) that were (probably) written for others and thus can hardly be seen as the expression of Thrasymachus' own thoughts.
		Scholars have, however, been divided whether this claim is compatible with the position Plato attributes to Thrasymachus in the first book of the Republic.
		In the first book of the Republic, Thrasymachus attacks Socrates' position that justice is an important good.

		"The Persian kings never attempted to to impose their own religion on different parts of the empire - in this respect they were enlightened," he said.
		But the empire, which flourished from 550BC until the sacking of Persepolis by Alexander in 330BC, was almost as big as the Roman, stretching "from the Aral Sea to the Persian Gulf, and from the River Indus to Libya", according to the exhibition's curator, John Curtis.
		As for the Graeco-Persian wars, Athens' proudest moment, when it defeated King Xerxes and ushered in the golden age, Dr Curtis is dismissive.

	Agis
		In 413, on the suggestion of Alcibiades, he fortified Decelea[?] in Attica, where he remained directing operations until, after the battle of Aegospotami (405), he took the leading part in the blockade of Athens, which was ended in spring 404 by the surrender of the city.
		The Agiad king Leonidas having prevailed on the council to reject this measure, though by a majority of only one, was deposed in favour of his son-in-law Cleombrotus[?], who assisted Agis in bearing down opposition by the threat of force.
		On his return Agis fled to the temple of Athene Chalcioecus at Sparta, but soon afterwards he was treacherously induced to leave his asylum and, after a mockery of a trial, was strangled in prison, his mother and grandmother sharing the same fate (241).

		The three kings that followed Xerxes on the throne--Artaxerxes I (465-425 BC), Xerxes II (425-424 BC), and Darius II Ochus (423-404 BC)--were all comparatively weak individuals and kings, and such successes as the empire enjoyed during their reigns were mainly the result of the efforts of subordinates or of the troubles faced by their adversaries.
		Persia then misplayed its hand in Greece by refusing aid to Athens against the rising power of Philip II of Macedon.
		The main events of his long rule were the war with Sparta that ended with a peace favourable to the Persians; the revolt and loss to the empire of Egypt; the rebellion of Cyrus the Younger, brother of the king; and the uprising known as the revolt of the satraps.
