The movie isn't out over here yet, but I read it caused a lot of reactions in the USA, as appearantly it's very one sided, pro-Greek and anti-Persian. So here are two poems to give a very one sided view to counterbalance it: The first is about the destruction of Persepolis by the Greeks The city of the great kings The capital of the world Filled with gold and many things By king Cyrus it was it built Alexander burned this town After Darius was killed Precious statues were torn down Once crafted by artists skilled How many died in those flames How much did the Greeks destroy Fell victim to Helen games In this second eastern Troy?
