Unit 1: The Greeks at War - Introduction
• During the 6th Century BC the Persian Empire had grown.
• Persian Kings used a tactic of conquer and assimilate to create a huge Empire.
• Rather than destroy the civilisations they defeated they absorbed them.
• They used their science, their engineers, their armies and their trading to make them the most powerful country in the world.
• The Greeks on the other hand were a series of small tribes which could not agree.
• This unit looks at how small and very different people could unite to defeat and unbeatable army.

Who were the Greeks?
• They were not a single country.• But they loved their independence.• Each group was a small city-state.
(poleis)• Each poleis was separated by mountains• Without an external threat it is unlikely
the Greeks would have come together. • BUT the organised machine of the
Persian Empire threatened them.• They had to find a way of working
together, which would enable them to maintain their unique way of life.

Who were the Persians?
• The Persians had a very organised empire.• Even though they had a King who
controlled each country – these countries had a lot of freedom.
• The Persians were a very advanced Empire.• Their roads, for example, linked all of their
Empire. The Greeks did not even have roads linking all of their cities.
• Unfortunately we find it difficult to assess the Persian empire.
• Most of the information we have comes from the Greeks who did not like the Persians.

Do you think this interpretation is based on Greek or Persian sources?

Why is Herodotus so important
• Not too much is known about Herodotus – but what we do know is that he has written the best account about the expansion of Persia and the Persian Wars.
• His book is a mix of History, sociology and geography.
• Some of it is very informative, whereas some of it is very strange (Giant wasps and ants the size of men and lots of Gods)
• You will need to use Herodotus with care and assess how representative his views are.

Task: Answer the questions on the worksheet
• Being able to work independently is crucial to success.
• You can also download the textbook and Herodotus on the VLE if you wish to read ahead or read further.
• You can ask for help with difficult words – but you should try to use a dictionary first.
