Which was bigger the Greek empire or the Persian Empire?

The Persian Empire was larger than the Greek Empire at its height. The Persian Empire, particularly during the Achaemenid dynasty, spanned three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—encompassing a vast territory that included parts of modern-day Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and beyond. In contrast, the Greek Empire, primarily associated with city-states like Athens and Sparta, was more fragmented and did not achieve the same territorial expanse as Persia. Thus, in terms of land area and influence, the Persian Empire was significantly bigger.

Why was the official policy of religious tolerance more crucial to the stability of Persian empire then it was to Greek civilization?

The official policy of religious tolerance in the Persian Empire was crucial for its stability because it allowed for the integration of diverse cultures and beliefs across its vast territories, reducing the likelihood of rebellion and unrest among various groups. In contrast, Greek civilization, characterized by city-states with distinct identities and rivalries, did not face the same level of cultural diversity within a unified political structure, allowing for more localized governance and less need for overarching tolerance. Thus, the Persian approach facilitated cohesion in a multicultural empire, while Greek city-states thrived on a more homogeneous cultural identity.
