The principle use of persia for teh greeks was to unite them against a common enemy who wanted to impose tyrannical superstition on them.

Zoroaster is the inventor of lying at scale, and persians were practicing that form of lying.

Instead, Let’s stick with the greek deflation of reason, law and religion rather than the iranian/persian conflation of reason, law and religion.(lying)

Nietzsche was right: If there is one person to kill all of history it’s zoroaster, after that abraham, and after that maybe the Khan. But zoroaster invented lying for the sake of wisdom. Abraham invented lying for the sake of law. whatever collection of lunatics invented islam by revising christianity created the greatest source of death of all time. A source of death only dreamed of by the marxists, stalinists, trotskyists. The combination of the zoroastrian and abrahamic religions have caused more death than the great plagues that made the arab expansion possible, and ended classical civilization.

The fact that the aristocracy are out kin (aryans) has little impact on the fact that the iranian branch chose conflationary mysticism (deception) for their wisdom literature and the european branch chose deflationary law for their wisdom literature, and considerd religion something entirely separate.
