Paper 1
Revise: Xerxes’ Building Projects and the Battle of EurymedonAnother possibility is that the agreement known as the Peace of Callias was made much later, around 449 BC, rather than immediately after Eurymedon. That later date falls after Xerxes’ death in 465 BC, so it cannot be treated as a treaty signed by Xerxes.
