* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The Persian Empire is portrayed as an endless horde of FacelessGoons, monsters and other inhuman evils following the will of an deified tyrant. In reality, they were extremely cultured and rather progressive compared to the Greeks: women were more liberated and independent, and while slavery still existed, they never went out to mass enslave entire peoples like the Egyptians or Babylonians did, and the number of free people in the empire outweighed the slaves. Also, due to practicing Zoroastrianism, their emperor most definitely didn't consider himself divine as this would have been blasphemous.
