Today in class we watched the movie some more.  We are almost at the end of it.  We were talking about Themisticles and started on Xerxes, who lead the Persians in trying to destroy Athens for his father Darius.  Themisticles had a plan to help them win even though they were way out numbered.  They were going to fight by water with a Trireme battleship.  They did eventually win because they had one of the best naval armies.  Then we started talking about trading which they did a lot and with everyone.  It seems like a interesting period in time.
