Quiet Greece and Loud Persia

The brains versus the bold has been a constantly battle between the nerds and the jocks. The Persians and Greek are not very similar at all.  While the Persians valued war-like activities and warriors at a very high standard, the Greeks however thought that brains were much more important than killing other people.  The Persians didn’t care for the Greeks because Persia at the time had a very large and growing empire without needed the Greeks and their intellect.  The Persian Empire stretched from the India all the way to the Mediterranean Sea; their empire in 500 B.C.E didn’t need to grow any larger and didn’t need the help of Greece. Greece didn’t bother anyone and were not a threat to the Persians so there was no need to involve themselves with people with completely different values.  Persian had no need to get involved with Greece because they saw Greece as lowers considering Persia at the time was a power house and dominated almost all of Asia and parts of Europe.
