Why did Herodotus and Greeks think Persians were weak?

Herodotus and many Greeks perceived the Persians as weak due to their view of Persian governance and social structure, which emphasized despotism and a lack of civic engagement among the populace. Greeks valued their own democratic ideals and the active participation of citizens in governance, contrasting it with the Persian monarchy, where power was centralized in a single ruler. Additionally, the Greeks often highlighted the Persians' reliance on vast, diverse territories and satraps, which they believed made the empire less cohesive and more vulnerable to internal strife. This cultural bias reinforced the Greek belief in their own superiority and the perceived fragility of Persian power.

Did the Persians defeat the Greeks?

In the early stages from 499 BCE when Persia dominated, they were able to use Greek inter-city rivalries and disunity, ease of bribing their leaders, and in the field, the superiority of their cavalry and the fleets, which latter they levied from Phoenecia, Egypt and the Ionian Greeks as well. As the Greeks gained more cohesion and the will to combine for their common defence, they were able to consistently defeat the Persians on sea and land, until Persia agreed to peace in 449 BCE.

Did Sparta defeat Persia?

No. The Spartans defeated about 500,000 Persians along with about 1,700 Greeks. Later on in the war, they withdrew to defend Sparta and lost the war. The Spartans alone did not fight or defeat Persians and Persian allies. Many Greek city states allied and defeated Persians in land and sea battles in two separate wars. The only Greek defeat from the most famous battles in the two separate Persian invasions was in Thermopylae. And even then, few thousand Greeks died, including plus or minus 300 Spartans, while it is believed more than 20,000 Persians and their allies that included many Greeks, died in Thermopylae. So it was an honorable defeat.
