The Persians, time of Xerxes II to Artaxerxes II. Sardes, circa 420-375. From the time of the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC) and great stories by guys like Thucydides (History of the Peloponnesian War) and Xenophon (March of the Ten Thousand) and not long after Herodotus (The Histories) himself.
"The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage." --Thucydides
