Persian King Xerxes Ordered the Sea to be Whipped as Punishment


Xerxes had just had victories over uprisings against Persian rule in Egypt and Babylon and now had his sights set upon Greece, keen to avenge his father’s defeat at their hands.

In 480 BC, his enormous army journeyed to the Dardanelles (Hellespont) Strait, separating Asia from Europe. To get his army quickly into Greece, Xerxes ordered the construction of a pontoon bridge across the 1.2 kilometer (1300 yards) strait. But before his army were able to cross, a storm blew in and destroyed the bridge.

Infuriated with the sea, Xerxes ordered his soldiers to punish it by whipping it with chains 300 times and poking it with red-hot irons. Handcuffs were also tossed into the water to symbolize the sea’s submission to his authority. Finally, he ordered the decapitation of the engineers behind the bridge’s construction.…”

Never give up.
Be persistent.

Soon after a few thousand attempts, the price will go down and
you win the battle.
