Could Xerves had successfully beaten the Greeks at Salamis by simply being more patient in his tactics?

Patient, and bulldog stubbornesslike U.S. Grant, no matter what the casualties, just send his superior forces in.  In a battle of attrition, he surely would've won.  \n\nThe Greeks attacked his ships while they were bottled up coming thru the straits.  The Persians couldn't bring their full force to bare and where defeated piecemiel.  I guess his patience could've shown by not giving battle near the opening of the straits but in more open water....where his numbers wouldn've been the determining factor.

Have patience: don't expect your efforts to come to fruition of your goal immediately.  Keep working at it, for even Roman Empire wasn't built in a day.

It can't be done with an unmarked straightedge and a compass, but it can be done with a *marked* straightedge and a compass. The latter was doen by Archimedes about 200BC.

It was invented by Demetrius Poliorcetes for use during the siege on Salamis in Cyprus.

Slow and steady wins the race--- the only thing I can think of is that the slowest runner had much more stamina than Yoshi. Yoshi must have had the least amount of stamina in his class.

The Eurpeans wouldnt have liked to undergo hardships in tropical parts of arfica. They are from milder climates, and they can not bear to work hard in trpoics. So they didnt conquer entire africa. If they had managed to do so, the entire world would be full of whites and yellows. And perhaps all the natives of africa would be working all over the word.

It's obvious why he is shy, people want to capture and/or kill him. I would be very elusive too, wouldn't you? I don't know if dinosaurs chewed cavemen bones or tossed them up in the air or not. Some were carnivorous so they probably did snack on them a little.

would have been more daring and took more chances

I really think they did. He was trying to get is men in shape so that when they are trying to chase down a criminal they do not fall dead of heart attack or something. But with that said I am sure that was a better way of doing. Maybe they could have like put some money in a pot and who every lost the most won the money. He need to be tactful about it not rude and crude.

Greece was more powerful in the ancient world. Uniting East and West for the first and only time. There are still Greek speaking tribes in India(albe it only a few thousand) beacause of Alexander the Great. He crossed the Indus river and even founded present day Karachi, in Pakistan which was of course then named Alexandria.\nPersia was decimated by the Greeks and Greek soldiers took Persian wifes to spread the Greek culture. Another Greek city is Marsala, presently in France and known as Marsaille. Tactically they were brilliant and ***The Battle of Salamis was a testament to intelligence and tactics of the Acient Greeks***please look this up as it's a great account of a historical sea battle of the where the Persian Fleet in record numbers was decimated by the vastly inferior Greeks in terms of numbers and weaponry/ships.\n\nFrom India to France, no empire spread as far or ever will again.\nCrossing so much land on foot and conquering it all then succumbing to either poisoning or an illness. \n\nYour last three lines say it all...they had it all and the ancient greeks challenged, took it, burned the capital, and were accepted when they conquered generally, and made it better and spread their own vision to more of the world and this is evidenced today in numerous ways...it has to be greece easily in this one...\n\negypt vs greece would have been fairer...\n\n***additional - just read your additional comments - very good lol...

Probably looked at the sky and the sea, breathed and felt the air, and then extrapolated from previous experience.\n\nProbably also consulted oracles, and made offerings to various deities to propitiate the gods, and in hopes of getting favorable weather.

lol could be! I think he led himself. His epic probably wasn't as great as it was thought to be, noting that history becomes inaccurate over time. But hey, thinking he was led by aliens makes me laugh!

Yes.  In fact, it is his taking command of the retreating American forces that prevents the British from claiming a clear and decisive victory at Monmouth.  (The American commander, General Lee, believed that the Americans could not go to-to-toe with the British regulars - to which Washington replied "Sir, they are able, and by God they shall do it!")

Is that *really* what the Greeks are know for? ;)
