Greek Democracy Changes From 490 to 479 B.C., the Greeks fought Persian invaders who were attempting to conquer Greece. The Greek city-states fought side by side as allies and defeated the Persian forces. The Athenians maintained democracy during the Persian Wars by holding pub-lic debates about how to defend their city.
Those ideas helped spark a cultural revival in Greece, one which led to the Greeks' Golden Age and hence the birth of Western civilization. The Phoenicians imported so much papyrus from Egypt that the Greeks used their name for the first great Phoenician port, Byblos, to refer to the ancient paper. The name Bible, or the book, also derives from Byblos. Today, Spencer Wells says, Phoenicians have become ghosts, a vanished civilization. Now he and Zalloua hope to use a different alphabet, the molecular letters of DNA, to exhume these ghosts.
