How do we end the dumb meme of ancient/Achaemenid Persians being

Are they seen as such? They claimed a lot of clay.

In the West? Yes. Pretty sure if you try to take the Persians side in the Persian Wars, people will just keep bringing up Thermopylae and Alexander the Great. At least that's my antecedent experience when it comes to them.

Didn't Persians win their own battles after the 2nd Persian War with the Greeks? Like annihilating an Athenian army at Memphis? Or the destruction of a Spartan fleet in the Aegan and gaining back a lot of territory due to the Corinthian War to the point the Greeks, both the Athenians and Spartan leagues, appealed to the Persians to mediate settlements between them?

I kind of hate how people ignore this stuff.

Well you could have a movie about how the Persians started using Divide and Conquer and caused wars between the Greek States
