We had a sub today , but no biggie . We just continued to watch the movie and took notes.
The notes I took today were mainly on the Persian ,coming back for another fight , but the Athens had Cethiceness as , their ruler during that time. And he thought ahead of the game , left the land area and suggested the fight on water in stead on land. He knew what they were doing , they were head of the Navy. Then soon after the King Darius died and his son Xerxes took over.
