Sparta

Xerxes the first

Yes it is.

The modern city of Sparti is located at the same location of ancient Sparta and is the administrative center of the Laconia region.

No it is not. Infact, it doesn't even exist. It was once the greatest powers in Greece, but lost the Peloponnesian War to the Athens. It is a great mystery as to what happened to the Spartans afterwords.

Crete is a major city.

Usually they hated each other... but in times when invaders attacked Greece, they became allies and fought the invaders. Athens and Sparta would have HUGE wars between themselves when outsiders weren't attacking. They were bitter enemies as well as strong allies.

they never encountered each other, they are from different ages.

The Romans conquered the Celtiberians and Iberians in Spain, the Lusitans in Portugal and western Spain; the Gauls in France, other Celtic peoples in Britain, Switzerland and Austria, the Illyrians in the area of the former Yugoslavia and Albania, the Greeks, the Thracians (in western Bulgaria and north-eastern Greece), the Dacians in Romania and Moldova, the Syrians, the Phoenicians in Lebanon the Jews, the Nabateans in Jordan, the Arabs of northwester Saudi Arabia, the Egyptians, and the Berbers peoples of the rest of northern Africa, including the Libyans, the Numidians if Algeria and the Mauretani in northern Morocco.

The Romans also conquered Turkey, which had quite a mixture of peoples. The italic peoples of Italy who came under Roman control included the Samnites, Lucanians, Retrucans, Umbrians, Sabines, Marsi, Marrucini, Vestani, Frentani, Peligni, Dauni, Messapi, Brutii, Sicani, and Sicels.

Sparta had the largest area after it conquered the southern Peloponnese, while Athens had limited land in Attica, until it created an empire for 50 years of the GREEK cities in the eastern Aegean Sea littoral.

The Greek archipelago.

The government of Wales is called the Welsh Assembly Governement (often abbrieviated to WAG). At the moment (14/1/8) The government is a coalition of Labour www.welshlabour.org.UK and Plaid Cymru (The Party of Wales) www.plaidcymru.org/. The government is run at the National Assembly www.wales.gov.UK from the Senedd (which is Welsh for senate) Building in Cardiff Bay

The enactment date was August 18, 1920. This means it was ratified on that date.

there were many, but the answer is Troy

Sparta did not initiate the Persian Wars. Sparta was very conservative about wars, relying on its reputation to avoid wars. It had problems in keeping down a restive serf population and didn't need extra problems if they could be avoided.

The Persian Wars began when the Greek cities of Asia Minor revolted against Persian rulership. Athens and Eretria intervened, and after the rebellion was put down, Persia turned on Eretria and Athens in mainland Greece, for helping the rebellious cities. This attempt failed at the Battle of Marathon and Persia decided that the only way to keep the peace was to bring all the Greek cities into its empire, where it could control them.

Persia bribed some of these cities into compliance, then invaded to subject the rest. A consortium of Greek city-states combined to oppose this invasion, including Sparta and Athens.

Both were strictly ruled - Sparta was a limited democracy, Athens for a time became a radical democracy. Spartan citizens devoted their time to military training as they had a serf population to support them, Athenians did part-time military training only as they had to earn a living.

The peace treaties with Sparta and Persia in the middle of the 5th century BC were important in that they recognized the Athenian empire and the right of Athens to coerce their allies. The treasury at Delos was moved to Athens and subscriptions paid there became tribute to Athens. This greatly enriched the City of Athens.

I think they conquered neighboring land. Hope that helps :)

They sent Pheidippedes to run to Sparta to ask them to come (round trip 120 miles, he hallucinated on the way back and died). The Spartans were in the middle of a religious ceremony when he arrived, and said they would come as soon as it was over. When it was, they did the 60 miles to Athens in a day, but missed the battle, marched on to view the dead, came back and congratulated the Athenians and went home. The Athenians also asked the Plataians for help. A small city, it turned out 1,000 to add to the Athenian 9,000, and fought well. Athens always looked after little Plataia's welfare afterwards. Some stories say that Pheidippedes ran to Athens after the battle to let them know that the Athenians had won, so that they wouldn't surrender the city to the Persians. He is said to have gasped out his message to the cities leaders before collapsing and dying. As Pheidippides was dead by the time of the battle of Marathon, he would have had difficulty in running off to bring tidings of the battle. In fact, it was the whole Athenian army which ran the 26 miles over the hills to Athens. They had seen the Persian cavalry being embarked before the battle, and guessed that it was sailing around the peninsula to Athens to gallop up and occupy the city, whose gates would be opened for them by the Hippias faction. The Athenian infantry would then have been locked out, and harrassed from the rear by the Persian infantry. The Athenian infantry got there just in time, forming up in front of the city as the Persian cavalry was disembarking. The Persians, frustrated, and with their infantry force defeated earlier, went home.

First of all there was never Spartan Persian war.Only Persian invasion of GREECE. The Spartans fought alongside other Greeks in second of those invasions which were in 490 and in 480 BC. The Persians were defeated by ALLIED army of GREEKS, with navy lead by Athens and ground forces by Sparta. In first invasion Persians were defeated by only Athens and her allies.

Archons. Archon in Greek means "ruler"

The two main Gods of Sparta are Ares (Roman: Mars) and Artemis (Roman: Diana). http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/prehistory/aegean/thecities/sparta.html http://www.makeitcrete.com/crete_mythology.html

Combat, combat, and more combat.

Actually, Spartans lived as children until the age of 7, Then began to train as warriors, Came back home when they turned 30 and eventually could retire at 60.

Women could live at home, but had to keep order in the household.

My boy xerxes

Xerxes was the Persian king, who wanted to take over Greece. Leonidas was the king of Sparta, who was one of many to defend Greece. It's pretty obvious why they were enemies.

Spartan Shields were made to protect the man from just above the shoulders down to the knee. So a large man would have a larger shield in this case.

that shields is hold in left hand ....

The initial Persian expansion was against the cities of Mesopotamia.

Three a year apart - Salamis 480 BCE, Plataia and Mykale 479 BCE.
