What was the plan that the Persians formed to take over Athens? |
|
Answer» The entire army of Athens had rushed to the seashore with only the aged people, women and children left in the city. Taking advantage of this, the Persians decided to take the sea route. The Athenian army had no ships and they would take a very long time to travel back to Athens on foot with their heavy armour and weapons. Seeing the Persians, the defenceless people in the city would think that Athens had lost the battle and it would thus become easy for the Persians to take over the city. |
