Who divided the Persian empire into 20 provinces?

Darius the Great divided the empire into 20 provinces called satrapies. Also, he gave the 20 provinces Satraps, or governors. Then he made the roads bigger and more efficient.For example, one Greek historian wrote: "Nothing mortal travels so fast as these Persian Messengers ... these men will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night."-Herodotus, from the "History of the Persian Wars"


Why didn't the Athenian army go out to fight the Persians when they arrived at Marathon?

They were in the middle of a religious festival but undertook to come in a couple of days when it was over. They then set off at a fast pace, but before they arrived the battle was fought. They marched up to Marathon, viewed the battlefield, congratulated the Athenians and went home.


How did the Persian Empire rule such a large empire?

They divided the empire into satrapies (provinces) with Persian governors supported by sufficient troops to enforce their rule.They set taxes at a non-exploitive level. After the defeat of the Persian invasion of mainland Greece, Aristides was appointed to assess the levy on the Greek cities in Asia liberated from Persian rule which Athens was organising into an anti-Persian league; he mostly used the Persian system because he considered it just.They kept internal order and protected the peoples from external invasion. Each satrapy and people within it was required to meet a levy of soldiers and warships proportional to their capacity.They facilitated control, commerce and communication by establishing Aramaic as the lingua franca (the language which later Jesus spoke), and set up a fast courier system with staging posts to ensure speedy transmission of messages and reports in their pre-electronic era.By retaining the local rulership with provincial governors maintaining security and external protection.
