Thank God the Greeks were able to hold them off at the Battle of Marathon or
we would all be speaking Farsi and practicing Zoroastrianism.

Well, that was 2500-3000 years ago, Fred. Except for those of us with
Greek ancestry, "we" haven't had much trouble from the descendants of
the ancient Persians since then. I have no reason to hold a grudge,
least of all a 3000-year-old one! Although, having said that... around
that same time my most ancient ancestors in the British Isles were
getting enslaved and beaten, occupied, robbed and ethnically cleansed by
invading Celts of one variety or another. Damn their yellow eyes! They
(the males among them) also raped enough of my female ancestors to make
me carry their filthy genes to this day. Oh, the shame!
