Did the Persians win Greece and give it to Sparta?
Uh.... no. The Persians lost the war with Greece, and they didn't "give" Sparta anything. It would be more accurate to say the Spartans "gave it to" Persia, with "it" in this case being "a Grecian urn of whoop-ass": at the Battle of Thermopylae between the Persian Army and a Greek force commanded by a Spartan general, the Persians lost 10 times as many men as the Greeks did. However, since they had 15-20 times as many men to start with, the Persians did manage to take the pass after being held off by the Greeks for about a week (including three days of actual battle).
What kind of jobs did Persians have in the old days?
