The conflict between Persia and Athens culminated in several key battles during the Greco-Persian Wars, with Athens emerging victorious at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE. This victory was significant in boosting Athenian morale and influence. Later, during the Persian invasion led by Xerxes, the Athenians again triumphed at the naval Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE, further solidifying their dominance over Persia. Ultimately, these victories marked a turning point in the wars, leading to the decline of Persian power in the region.

This changed over the centuries. Sparta was ruled by two kings, a council. and an assembly Athens was ruled first by a king, then an aristocracy, then by a tyrant, then by an assembly of the people. Persia was ruled by a king and his council.
Idk that’s why I came on here
Persia
Athens and Persia were two distinct civilizations in the ancient world, differing significantly in political structure and culture. Athens was a city-state in Greece known for its early form of democracy, where citizens participated directly in decision-making. In contrast, Persia, an empire that spanned much of the Near East, was characterized by a centralized autocratic rule under kings like Cyrus and Darius, who implemented a bureaucratic administration across diverse territories. Additionally, while Athens emphasized philosophy, arts, and individualism, Persia was known for its vast infrastructure and cultural diversity, promoting a more collective identity among its subjects.

Persia had a king. Athens had a direct democracy.
Athens would have been returned to having a Tyrant installed by Persia. No doubt they would have expelled him again and Athens would have continued on its road to eventual democracy, just a bit delayed.
persia prevented Sparta and Athens from uniting.

I will list you some Greek wars: Sparta vs. Athens Persia vs. Greece: Marathon Thermopylae Salamis thanks! i wish i helped!
Athens long ago, then they made peace saying both, but Athens had more controll still, they became allies, and then they had war with Persia, that's all I know, but theres probably so much more! Spartans were considered both greek and roman! After the war with Persia, Athens and its states had a war with Sparta again, or the only time, and Sparta actually did team up with Persia, Spartans won the war, granting Athens some freedom, but not all.
Persia
The war against Persia. It united all of Greece, including Athens and Sparta.
Xerxes was king of Persia and battled against Sparta and Athens. etc
It was Athens against Persia. Athens helped Miletus (another city-state) in a battle against Persia. Athenians didn't actually fight, they just helped Miletus by giving them ships and weapons. Miletus lost against Persia and when Persia discovered that Athens had helped Miletus they wanted the Athenians killed. Thus the battle of Marathon began.
