Talk:Greco-Persian Wars

"the even more conservative" Persian Empire
I am sorry if this is meant to be a part of the parodying that is happening on the pages, but the Achaemenid Empire is pretty liberal. It had a ban on slavery, tolerated other religions, increased the quality of life of those it ruled, and this was all set in stone by Cyrus the Great. It is liberal enough that it puts many nations today to shame, especially considering the government that is currently occupying it's homeland of Media. Seriously, look up Cyrus the Great and the Achaemenid Empire for something better than my word.
