Interaction with the Persian Empire - AP European History

Herodotus wrote the first "history" text with his description of the Greco-Persian wars. Tacitus and Sallust are both Roman historians who cover the Roman Empire. Thucydides was a Greek historian who described the Peloponnesian War. Plato was a philosopher and student of Socrates.

Xerxes I was the son of Darius I. All of the answers are Persian King of Kings, most of whom had direct animosity with the Greeks. But, only Xerxes I invaded (or ruled) in 480 BCE.

The Delian League was an organization of city-states and islands under the leadership of Athens. It was formed in the aftermath of the second Persian invasion of Greece and its stated goal was to provide mutual protection from possible future attacks.

Cyrus the Great was the founder of the Persian Empire. His conquest of the Ionian Greeks (those Greeks living in modern-day Turkey) in the sixth century BCE was the beginning of two centuries of conflict between the Persian Empire and the Greek city-states.

Pausanias was a Spartan general who played an important role in the latter years of the Persian Wars. He led the Greek forces to victory in the decisive battle of Plataea in 479 BCE. He was then placed in charge of the Greek campaign to eradicate Persian influence from the Greek-speaking world. He would eventually come undone, however, due to the widespread belief that he was conspiring with the Persians to undermine Greek liberty.
