**491 BC - 1902 AD - A Long Time Between Drinks**
_“ In 499 BC, the Persian Achaemenid Empire tried unsuccessfully to conquer various ancient Greek city-states. Finally in 449 BC a de facto peace was concluded and the Greco-Persian Wars effectively ended. In 1902, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah of Persia and George I of Greece agreed to de jure recognition and after 2393 years established diplomatic relations. This of course ignores a long history of Greco-Persian interactions thereafter throughout Antiquity, not least the Peace of Antalcidas, the conquests of Alexander the Great and the Seleucid Empire, or even the long history of the Byzantine-Persian wars.”_
