In all cases of war, there is anger, disagreement, despise or desire for something the other country holds dear. For example, in America, freedom is often that which is despised and hated by other entities. Whereas, in ancient Greek, it was natural resources such as food, soil and water resources.

As the Greece and Persian conflict started when King Darius become angry over the burning of Sardis, this was clearly an act of revenge. Although, it was also an effort to obtain water and earthly resources from the Athenians, which in fact did happen, albeit only briefly. For, then Persia fell into a civil war and an inner conflict between the troops on patrol.

Unfortunately, while the Athenians sent troops to fight the Persians, the Persians had by that time fallen into a Civil War with divided interests and troops. As such, the Athenians while originally having provided some relief with water and other resources, then retreated so as to not become involved in the inner-conflict of the time.

Later, having no other choice, the Greeks returned to these battles which went on for quite some time. Then, once the Greeks finally sailed to Sestos, attacked and captured the place, the Athenians returned home. After which, a large number of artistic works and cultural endeavors were created. As such, in the end, while there were no real winners in the battle, the world gained a great deal of art and culture related to the period.

For more in depth study of the period, there are several classes and courses now offered at various schools and universities around the world which focus on this period. Whereas, there are also a number of museums which house historical artifacts, paintings and other relics which the public can view either on public tours or as a museum member.
