Triston Mcfarland · Answer 1

Persia had a huge empire and had every intention of adding Greece to it. The Persian king Darius first attacked Greece in 490 BC, but was defeated at the Battle of Marathon by a mainly Athenian force. The wars with the Persians had a great effect on ancient Greeks.

(so everybody just hated each other)
