      What's also funny is if we look at it through today's moral compass the Persians were the good guys.
      They didnt have the same level of slavery as the Greeks. Thier empire covered a huge area and as such had a lot more different races and peoples and cultures. Same for religion and there was significant religious freedom which almost no other empires have ever had to the same level.
      And to top it all off they achieved in Greece what their military aims were. So technically it was mission successful despite the Greek suicide mission at Thermopylae and the other battles that happened.

    One of elephant tactics in incendiary pig or flaming pig were recorded by the military writer Polyaenus and by Aelian.Both writers reported that Antigonus II Gonatas' siege of Megara in 266 BC was broken when the Megarians doused some pigs with combustible pitch, crude oil or resin, set them alight, and drove them towards the enemy's massed war elephants. The elephants bolted in terror from the flaming, squealing pigs, often killing great numbers of their own soldiers by trampling them to death.According to an account, Gonatas later made his mahouts keep a swine among elephants to accustom the animals to pigs and this practice was immortalized by a Roman bronze coin dating back to his time, which showed an elephant on one side and a pig on the other.
