Cyrus the Great united the Persians and built the largest empire the world has ever seen. Persia paid men to be full-time soldiers, and as a result, its army was very impressive. Beginning around 490 B.C. the Persians and the Greek city-states battled over control of Greece. Sparta and Athens worked together to defeat the Persians. The Persian Empire was conquered by Alexander the Great in 334 B.C.
