Histories

We of Asia (continent)Asia did not deign to notice the seizure of our women; but the Greeks, for the sake of a Lacedaemonian woman, recruited a great armada, came to Asia (continent)Asia, and destroyed the power of Priam.

Ever since then we have regarded Greeks as our enemies.” For the Persians claim Asia (continent)Asia for their own, and the foreign peoples that inhabit it; Europe (continent)Europe and the Greek people they consider to be separate from them.

Such is the Persian account; in their opinion, it was the taking of Troy [26.2833,39.9167] (Perseus) Troy which began their hatred of the Greeks.
