 Ahh yes, gotta love some ancient Greek propaganda. I may not know much about the Persian war but I'm assuming they were not this bad at it. The painted Xerxes as this idiotic whimp you got his entire army killed and I just have a hard time believing that.
The writing wasn't my favourite either, and considering how much I liked Prometheus Bound I do definitely buy into the theory that Aeschylus did not write that play.
