The Xerxes Party

Bible sources suggest that this is kind of how the Persians made choices. You get together and you drink for a real long time. Xerxes then after the conquest of Egypt being about to take in hand the expedition against Athens, come into chosen assembly of the best men among the Persians. But also this is a bigger campaign. It's a much harder campaign than putting down a little rebellion here or there. This is civilization versus civilization we're talking about.
