B. HISTORICAL EVENTS
Traditionally, ancient history is studied as a series of deeds by dead white males, <-- or white-washed by later white men wanting to legitimize themselves by claiming classical ancestry . . . SLAM DUNK!

(Note that this is the second time the Athenians have used the Persians' numbers against them and forced them into a bottleneck, the first being Thermopylai/Artemision. You'd think Xerxes would catch on at some point.) PUNK'D?
Very occassionally [sic], a student makes me feel like a real, low-down, gutter-souled miser for merely giving her/him maximum points. Thanks, lady, much appreciated.
