Description491 BC - 1902 AD - A Long Time Between Drinks.jpg
English: Humoristic cartoon from Puck on the establishment of diplomatic relations between Greece and Persia. 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.
Bahasa Indonesia: Kartun humoristik Puck tentang penjalinan hubungan diplomatik antara Yunani dan Persia. Pada tahun 499 SM, Kerajaan Akhemeniyah mencoba menaklukan berbagai negara kota Yunani, dan gagal. Pada akhirnya, pada tahun 449 SM, sebuah perdamaian de facto diselesaikan dan Perang Yunani-Persia secara efektif berakhir. Pada tahun 1902, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah dari Persia dan George I dari Yunani bersepakat untuk mengesahkan pengakuan antara kedua negara tersebut, dan setelah 2393 tahun, menjalin hubungan diplomatik. Ini tentu saja mengabaikan sejarah panjang interaksi Yunani-Persia setelahnya di seluruh Zaman Kuno, tidak terkecuali Perdamaian Antalcidas, penaklukan Alexander Agung dan Kekaisaran Seleukia, atau bahkan sejarah panjang dari Peperangan Byzantium-Persia.
