In this week’s sleep time non-fiction, we learn about the activities of the Persian emperor Darius with the Greek States of Asia Minor.

And as you drift off on your restful night he will turn his eyes to the European Greek states and Athens. Learn about he battle of Marathon, to which the Spartans showed up nearly a week late, Darius’ failure and the Persian return under Xerxes.
