History:
Xerxes, son of Darius the Great and Atossa, the daughter of Cyrus the Great, was appointed King of Persia by his father because his elder half-brothers, who were born before Darius had become king, died. He suppressed revolts in Babylon and Egypt, and upon insuring his empire was settled - elected to invade Greece to revenge himself for the Persian defeat at Marathon and various revolts.
Having conquered the smaller citystates, Xerxes is determined to have the submission of Athens and Sparta, and has dispensed messengers to demand "earth and water" from the two citystates. He is the head of an enormous Persian army, several hundreds of thousands of men, and is confident in his success.
