I just read Herodotus' Histories and learned that one reason why the Greek prevailed against Xerxes and his 2.5 million Persian invaders was because the Greek were free men and Athens was a Democracy, so these men fought for their own freedom and their own personal rights. Xerxes men were slaves and fought for nothing.
