Скачать или смотреть Xerxes' Invasion: How Tiny Greece Stopped the Superpower (480 BC).

How did one man’s failed ambition lead to the greatest invasion in ancient history?

After Persia’s shocking defeat at the Battle of Marathon, King Darius I planned his revenge — but death took him first.
The war against Greece passed to his son, Xerxes I, ruler of the largest empire the world had ever known.
In this video, we follow the full story of Xerxes’ invasion of Greece:
How the Ionian Revolt, sparked by Aristagoras, set everything in motion
Why Marathon was not the end, but only the beginning
How Xerxes prepared the greatest military force of the ancient world
The meaning behind the bridging of the Hellespont
Why Greece was divided and unprepared
The last stand at Thermopylae
The burning of Athens
And how a naval trap at Salamis changed history forever
This is not just a story of kings and battles —
it is a story about power, resistance, geography, and unintended consequences.
From one man’s debt in Miletus to the fall of an imperial invasion, this is the complete story of Xerxes vs Greece.
