What did Xerxes the Great's army do to Greek women?
Ten days after the Iranian army entered Athens, the sound of playing the harp could be heard from inside the houses of Athens.
One of the facts about the conquest of Greece is the respect that the Iranians gave to the Greeks. Iranian soldiers were away from their wives for at least a year, and according to one story, more than a year, and most of them were young……. According to historians, it has never been seen that an Iranian officer or soldier attacked a Greek woman .
In all the history that the Greeks wrote about the wars between Iran and Greece, not even once is it seen that they wrote that an Iranian officer or soldier raped a Greek woman, if in the old custom when the army entered a country at night Just as he considered the properties of the defeated nation as his own, he also considered the women of that nation as his own .
But the great Iranians of the Achaemenid period were so civilized and bound by the respect of Navamis that they never allowed themselves to rape the women of the defeated nation when invading a country.. They killed and captured men if they resisted, but they respected women.
What a beautiful culture
And what a pity that we have gone far from this culture
If possible, mention the source…
Peace be upon the character of the men of my country
It's not bad for us to look at ourselves, let her see what they say about our history, it's a shame, they just need to make a movie showing Greek women as prostitutes, so that they understand what we're suffering, it's a pity………………………………..
