Write the script for a skit exploring the Persian Wars from the Persian point-of-view.
Captain: Here we go men; we have been training almost all of our lives. This is for Persia, this is for us, and this is for you. We have a huge advantage we outnumber them at least 3 to 1. That should make this an easy fight for you battle hardened soldiers. Now let’s go out there and kick some Athenian ass.
Soldier 1: yeh this will be easy! We are going to kill them… literally.
Soldier 2: yeh they are a tiny little city how will they compete with the great empire of Persia.

Soldier1: oh my goodness…. I can’t believe we lost the captain.
Soldier 2: yeah guys this is horrible… how did we lose to them. I mean seriously we had so many more people.
Soldier 3: Guys I know it feels like a big deal now but all we have to do is beat them in the long run.
Soldier 2: how do you expect to do that? The captain is dead remember?
Soldier 1: yeah how will we do it without him?
Soldier 3: we will train another soldier to be the captain and we will crush those Athenians.
Soldier 1: I’ll do it!
Soldier 2: no! I’ll do it
Soldier 3: guys I was thinking it would be me since I’m the best fighter.
Soldier 2&3: no you’re not!
