          The Persian Wars has
four phases, the first is called the Battle of Marathon
where Persians and Greek particularly the Athenians fought. In the end,

the Athenians won and
Pheidippides a swift messenger ran for two days
to tell the news of victory
for Greece but unfortunately, he died upon
telling the good news. The second was the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, the
Persians and Spartans were the ones warring on this battle (as shown on the movie
"300") where the "phalanx" system was originated to shield
themselves
and their other soldiers
from their enemies and as the verdict, the
Persians won on this second round fight and as for the downfall of the
Spartan soldiers, the Greek officials did not send other soldiers for
enforcement. The third round is again for the Persians and the
Athenians still on 480 BC, the Battle of Salamis where Persian's
strategy was the route by water but in the end, the Athenians won and
that was two points of victory not only for the Athenians but also for
all Greeks. The last was named, the Battle of Platea in 479 BC, where the
Persians and this time the Greeks as a whole fought hand in hand for
their victory that will be forever live on the heart of history.
