After the battle of Issus Darius sent envoys to Alexander the Great offering an alliance with himself, and a ransom of 10,000 talents for his family whom Alexander had captured after the battle itself. Alexander categorically rejected this. Darius sent envoys again before the battle of Gaugmela offering 10,000 talents again, an alliance between the 2 empires, and all territory west of the river Euphrates. Alexander rejected this treaty again stating that 'there is no more room for two emperors than there is for two suns'

GM has acknowledged the problem but wouldn't issue a recall for the trailblazers & envoys. I have been round and round w/ the dealership over this problem. They will fix all silverado, sierra, esclade, yukons, and tahoes but not the envoys or trailblazers. Its called a special coverage adjustment. On the above vehicles they will fix them 7 years or 70k miles. Good Luck.
Trailblazers and Envoys are 6lugs x 5" circle. (6X5). The half ton trucks and SUVs are 6x5.5".
According to Herodotus' history of the Persian Wars, Xerxes demanded tokens of earth and water from the Greeks. Some Greek city-states complied, and some did not. Sparta not only refused to submit, but they threw the Persian envoys into a well and told them to collect their own water, while the Athenians threw their Persian envoys into a pit and told them to collect their own earth. This part of the history reads like fiction, and I think it probably is. There are other indications that Herodotus was writing historical fiction rather than real history, and he may have exaggerated the numbers of the Persian Army to make the Greeks appear even more the underdogs.
