By Kelly Starling Lyons (Author), Daniel Minter (Illustrator) ![]() ![]() ![]() There was also the Battle of Thermopylae which is the basis of the extremely historically accurate 2006 movie 300. During these wars there was the Battle of Marathon where the first world-record marathon time was supposedly set. ![]() That probably means little to you except those wars had some pretty memorable events. Greek city states wanted to stay Greek city states. to 449 B.C., Persia and Greece had a couple of wars collectively known as the Greco-Persian Wars. The actual content of the book is beyond both the scope of this column and my patience, so here is an extremely abridged summary. Histories is noted to have begun the modern study of history which is kind of a big deal because without the study of history my column would probably just be pictures of Joe Biden eating ice cream. Another thing that supposedly happened in the same year was the publication of Histories by “Father of History” Herodotus. was that Democritus tried cutting cheese an infinite amount of times and hypothesized the existence of atoms from that experience (that was a fart joke). One thing that supposedly happened in 440 B.C. But something important to know about history is that what actually happened doesn’t always matter - what people believed to have happened arguably matters more. ![]() When things are that far in the past they get hazy, so much of this is probably false. I’m not sure if anyone really knows what happened then. I’m not entirely sure what happened in 440 B.C. ![]() |
