🚩 I merged the episodes of the 2nd Persian Invasion series into one video, for easier viewing. The Second Persian Invasion was a pivotal moment in Ancient Greek history. Xerxes I, seeking revenge for his father’s defeat at Marathon, led a massive army to conquer Greece. The Greeks, led by Athens and Sparta, united to face this existential threat.
