This error (in history) is a result of how -specially from 17th century onwards- the so called 'historical' literature has risen a thick curtain with an ugly and distorted image of ancient Iranians between historians and historical reality; this renders their judgement incorrect and prevents them from observing the truth as it is. I will present now an example that demonstrates the point more than whatever I can write about the bias and ruffle written history of the East: In this form of 'historiography' the lightness of judgement triumphs over imagination and leads it to aberration and ineptitude by subjugating it to prejudice and bias that have no excuse, if any, but pure ignorance. Only after the Battle of Mycale (which took place in 479 B.C., and Aeschylus' 'Persians' was composed in 472 B.C.), in the eyes of one of the greatest and perhaps most noble characters of ancient Greece, Aeschylus, who had fought in the Battle of Marathon and his brother Cynaegirus is counted as one of the heroes of that/
