N2  - The Persian War was one of the most significant events in ancient history. It halted Persia's westward expansion, inspired the Golden Age of Greece, & propelled Athens to the heights of power. From the end of the war almost to the end of antiquity, the Greeks recalled the battles & heroes of this war with zeal. The resulting monuments & narratives have long been used to elucidate the history of the war itself, but they have only recently begun to be used to explore how the conflict was remembered over time. Yates demonstrates (1) that the Greeks recalled the Persian War as members of their respective poleis, not collectively as Greeks, (2) that the resulting differences were extensive & fiercely contested, & (3) that a mutually accepted recollection of the war did not emerge until Philip of Macedonia & Alexander the Great shattered the conceptual domination of the polis at the battle of Chaeronea.
