The document summarizes the Persian Wars between the Persian Empire and Greek city-states in the 5th century BC. It describes the size and diversity of the Persian Empire and its military forces. It then discusses key battles, including the Greeks' victory over the Persians at Marathon, the Spartans' heroic last stand at Thermopylae, and the oracle's prophecy of an impending naval battle at Salamis that would defeat the Persians.
The Cultural Heritage of Greece to the World, including among others the birth of poetry, the birth of philosophy and the arts and science in ancient Greece
The name of Athens, connected to the name of its patron goddess Athena, originates from an earlier Pre-
Greek language.
The etiological myth explaining how Athens acquired this name through the legendary contest between Poseidon and Athena was described by Herodotus, Apollodorus, Ovid, Plutarch, Pausanias and others.
Plato, in his dialogue Cratylus, offers his own etymology of Athena's name connecting it to the phrase ἁ θεονόα or hē theoû nóēsis (ἡ θεοῦ νόησις, 'the mind of god')

Government Spending and Revenue, 1792-2009Dan Ewert
NOTE: This spreadsheet isn't very good looking at through Slideshare, but you'll find the data and the graphs great when you download it. So download it.
A spreadsheet with figures entered for various aspects of government spending and revenue for the years 1792 to 2009. Subsequent tabs adjust for inflation and categorize different aspects for good comparisons. The last tab has all the graphs for each tab for the entire 217 years and also from 1900 to 2009.
Two different articles about the Iceman published about 15 years apart. The interpretations and theories surrounding him and his death changed drastically in that time. It's a nice illustration for how historical interpretations are not written in stone, but change depending on new evidence.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
13. The initial set up of the forces. Note that the Persians have their backs to the water and that the Athenians have stronger flanks and a weaker center.
Now… to the Persians. The Persian empire dominated the middle east and was extremely powerful. It was composed of various different ethnicities and nationalities that had been conquered by the empire and then incorporated into it. It was extremely well-run and well-administered bureaucracy. Each province, or satrap, was allowed to keep its own language, religion, some of its laws, practices, administration, etc. They all owed allegiance to the Persian king, however, and were bound by his laws.
Its armies were also similarly varied, each nationality with its own talents. They also weren’t as well equipped as the Greeks. The typical Persian soldier had either no armor or light scaled armor (think fish scales). Most lacked helmets and had only linen caps. Their weaponry was bow and arrows, daggers, and 5-6 foot spears. There were, though, a lot of Persian soldiers. The army was massive and easily outnumbered the Greeks. The main Persian tactic was for the archers to do most of the work and break the enemy’s lines. Then the infantry and cavalry would sweep in and clean up.

The main Persian tactic was for the archers to do most of the work and break the enemy’s lines. Then the infantry and cavalry would sweep in and clean up.
The Persians had conquered the Greek city-states along the Ionian coast (in modern-day Turkey). The Greeks, however, being the stubborn independent sort, didn’t take to Persian rule and rebelled. The Ionians colonies allied and threw off Persian rule. But they couldn’t last for long. The Spartans refused to help. The Athenians sent some ships and an expeditionary force and they accidentally burned down Sardis.
The Persian king Darius was a little put out by the revolt, the Athenians’ assistance, and that they torched Sardis He even had a servant say three times during dinner everyday, “My lord, remember the Athenians.” So Darius decided to conquer Greece. He first gave Athens and Sparta the option of surrendering by sending envoys who demanded samples of earth and water (symbols of vassalage). The Athenians responded by tossing them into a crack in the acropolis and the Spartans by throwing them in a well. Thus, the envoys had to find their earth and water themselves. First Darius reconquered Asia Minor (and was surprisingly magnanimous) and then sent a fleet to Attica (the region surrounding Athens).

The Persians arrived at the plain of Marathon. They were guided and assisted by none other than the former tyrant Hippias, son of Pisastratus, who had been exiled from Athens. The Athenians sent a messenger to Sparta asking for help (he made the 150 mile journey on foot in just 48 hours). The Spartans sent their regrets that they couldn’t come immediately because they were in the middle of a religious festival. Kindly wait. The Athenians didn’t. The Athenians with some small help from another city-state (the Plataens) confronted the Persians at Marathon. There were 10,000 Athenian hoplites and 1,000 Plataen hoplites

The Persian army numbered 50,000 – 200,000 (ancient sources are notoriously unreliable when it comes to numbers of men engaged in battles). On September 12, 490 BC, the Persians try reboarding their ships in order to beat the Athenians back to Athens and attack it. The Athenians attack them instead.
The Athenians closed with the Persians quickly, trotting the last 200 yards in order to minimize the damage the Persian archers could inflict on the phalanx lines. Because the Greek center was weak and the flanks strong, the center was pushed back while the flanks pushed in. After the center retreated a certain distance, it suddenly held firm. This resulted in a double envelopment of the Persians. Being double enveloped is NOT a good position to be in during a battle. The Persians panicked and made a run for their ships. Others ran for a nearby swamp (not knowing it was a swamp) and were slaughtered there.
192 Athenians and 11 Plataens fell. 6,400 Persians were killed. A messenger was sent to Athens. He ran the 21 miles, arrived at the agora, yelled out, “Νενικήκαμε,” and then dropped dead (hence the modern marathon race). This was actually important because it warned the Athenians that the Persians were coming and to put up a defense and man the walls. The Persians that made it out of Marathon sailed to Athens, but the Athenians from Marathon beat them there. The Persians gave up and sailed home. The Spartans finally showed up the second day after the battle, making the 150 mile march in three days. They toured the battlefield and agreed the Athenians had kicked some Persian keister.
The Persians’ defeat caused them problems because their aura of invincibility was tarnished. Other people rebelled, but were generally suppressed. As for the Greeks, victory significantly boosted morale as well as the prominence of the Athenians. All the same, the Greek city-states knew the Persians would be back. Many of the city-states that had vowed submission to Persia renounced it. Others made secret deals with the Persians to defect when they invaded again.
The second Persian invasion. Darius dies in 486 BC and is succeeded by his son Xerxes. In 480, Xerxes invades Greece with a force numbering between 100,000 to 500,000 depending on the scholar (Herodotus said 2.6 million, which is way too large). This was a land force that crossed over the Hellespont by bridges they built. The first bridges were destroyed in a storm. As punishment, Xerxes ordered that the sea receive 300 lashes for having the temerity to oppose him. They were also supported by a large naval force.
The Greeks had not been idle. While there was the usual squabbling and fighting, they came together when invasion was apprarent and imminent. Athens had built a superb navy. About that… the warship of the time was the trireme. It was a narrow ship, about 35 meters long. It had a crew of 170 rowers (at three different levels), 20 crew, and 10 marines. Its main weapon was a bronze plated ram at the front. You built up speed and rammed another ship, sinking it, or, if you got close enough and weren’t in ramming position, your marines would cross over to the other ship and wreak havoc. This was the main naval battle tactic until the battle of Lepanto in AD 1571 when naval cannon came into its own. That’s right, naval warfare didn’t change much for almost 2,000 years.

On their way down to Attica, the Persian army went by land while being shadowed by the navy for support. The Greeks needed some time to organize their forces, so a stand was made at the pass at Thermopylae.
At the time, the pass was rather narrow, with a sheer mountain cliff to one side and the sea to the other. Using a defensive wall there, 300 Spartans led by King Leonidas and about 6,700 other soldiers (Spartan periokoi and hoplites from other city-states) made their stand. Leonidas knew it was a suicide mission. Only soldiers who had fathered sons old enough to take over the family were picked to fight there. His last words to his wife were “Marry a good man, and have good children.” Before the battle, Xerxes offered Leonidas to be king of all Greece if he surrendered. Leonidas answered, “If you knew what is good in life, you would abstain from wishing for foreign things. For me it is better to die for Greece than to be monarch over my compatriots.”

When Xerxes again demanded Leonidas surrender his arms, Leonidas replied simply, “Μολών lαβέ.” “Come get them.” Xerxes ordered his men into the pass thinking they’d make short work of the Spartans since there were 100,000 Persians and 7,000 Greeks. The lightly armed and armored Persian troops were no match for Greek hoplites in a phalanx, though, and because of the narrow pass, the superior Persian were useless. They fought in the “shade.” Wave after wave of thousands of Persians was sent against the Spartans (some of the whipped into it) only to fail and/or die.

Finally, a Greek shepherd named Ephialtes defects to the Persians and leads them through a pass around Thermopylae so they can attack the Spartans from both sides. For this, ‘Ephialtes’ became synonomous with ‘traitor’ in Greek, like ‘Benedict Arnold’ is in American slang. Leonidas sent the forces away. All that remained were the 300 Spartans, 400 Thebans (who quickly surrendered), and 700 Thespians who stayed behind to give the rest time to escape. They fought to the last man. Leonidas was told by the oracle at Delphi that in the battle, either Sparta would be destroyed or it would lose its king, which may explain why he stayed. Around 1,500 Greeks died whereas 20,000 Persians were killed, including two of Xerxes’ brothers.

The Greeks as persuaded by the Athenian general Themistocles, wanted a decisive naval battle. They realized that the Persians were getting their material support from their ships and without them, the army would fall. The Spartans wanted to make a stand on the Corinthian isthmus (and coincidentally, save Sparta and the Peloponnese), but were convinced otherwise. The oracle at Delphi had given the following prophecy: “A wall of wood alone shall be uncaptured, a boon to you and your children.” And “Await not in quiet the coming of the horses, the marching feet, the armed host upon the land. Slip away. Turn your back. You will meet in battle anyway. Oh holy Salamis, you will be the death of many a woman's son between the seedtime and the harvest of the grain.”

Slip away. Turn your back. You will meet in battle anyway. Oh holy Salamis, you will be the death of many a woman's son between the seedtime and the harvest of the grain.”
The oracle’s prophecies could be a bit confusing. Themistocles interpreted them to mean that Athens should be abandoned and to trust that a wall of ships at Salamis would mean the deaths of many Persians. Others barricaded themselves on the acropolis and they were killed when the Persians sacked Athens and torched the acropolis. The Greeks brought 378 triremes at Salamis. The Persians had 650-800 (this was down from 1,200 after a storm destroyed some… another prophecy). Xerxes set up a throne to watch the festivities.
The Persian ships were actually more powerful than those of the Greeks. The straits, though, were too narrow for the Persians’ performance or numerical superiority to be an advantage. The Greeks lost 40 triremes while the Persians lost 200 and about 50,000 men. It was a big defeat for the Persians and Xerxes was not happy. Some ships ran for home rather than face his wrath. Still, though, the Persians had a large land force and occupied Attica. Some were sent back while the rest were left to finish the conquering. Salamis turned the tide, however. At the battle of Plataea, the Spartans finally threw everything they had into the war. The Greeks slew around 250,000 at that battle and ended the Persian threat to Greece.

The effects of the Persian Wars led directly to the Peloponnesian War as we’ll see. It led to the preeminence of Athens among the city-states. This led to great wealth and great arrogance.
