Xerxes son of Darius
The Persian Wars covered 499 to 449 BCE in several phases. The invasion of mainland Greece was 480-479 BCE.
Persia had invaded mainland Greece. A coakition of Greek city-stated defeated the Persian navy in 480 BCE. The following year they assembled their armies at Plataia to defeat the Persian army and so finish off the Persian invasion.
The Athenians, at the time, had a democratic government, meaning that they were governed by the vote of the people. In 499 BC, the Ionian Revolt began, wherein several cities in the Persian Empire rebelled against Persian rule to become democratic. The Athenians, being democratic themselves, supported the rebels. Ultimately, Persian won and retained control of the rebel territory, but they then attacked Greece because the Greeks had supported the rebellion against them.
The Persians did not have a war with Sparta. They invaded mainland Greece to put an end to their interference in supporting uprisings of Greek cities in Persian-ruled Asia. They were repelled by a coalition of city-states from southern Greece, of which Sparta was but one.
i think it was the Great Persian Empire, the largest Empire in ancient times. The King of Troy was the Satrap for the Persian King of Kings, and that is why later, after the Greeks burned and destroyed Troy, Shah-en-Shah Xerxes invaded Greece, defeated the Greek-Spartan Army, entered into their capital Athens and BURNED THE ACROPOLIS IN A PUNISHING ACT FOR BURNING TROY.
