Don’t be silly.
The Persian Empire had basically abolished slavery. Xerxes is noted in particular for being a far kinder conquerer than the Greeks were proven time and again.
Whatever you can say about the fledgling democracy of the slave state Athens, it would be destroyed by Sparta eventually.
The wrong side won at Thermopylae.

Wait, didn’t the Greeks famously lose at Thermopylae? They’d turn it around later but that’s one of the most famous “celebrated losses” in history

You’re right, but no one knows what the Battle of Plataea is.

Werent they the aggressors though?

All slave states deserve to be destroyed! But in that war at least, yes. How much time do you spend judging Alexander for his conquests though? It’s just what those assholes did to each other in the Iron age.
Personally I’ll root for the imperialist assholes who don’t have slaves.
