The Persian sack of the Athenian Acropolis in 480 BCE, led by King Xerxes, was a significant event that left a lasting impact on the Greeks. The destruction and looting of Athens by the Persians was seen as a great humiliation and a blow to Greek pride. Alexander the Great's destruction of Persepolis, the Persian capital, can be seen as an act of revenge for the Persian sack of Athens that had occurred over one hundred years earlier.
