Always consult the Oracle before attacking Persia [View all]
Uncanny how that works.
"The Oracle at Delphi famously told King Croesus of Lydia that if he attacked Persia, he would destroy a great empire. Croesus interpreted this as a prediction of victory over Persia, but the "great empire" that fell was his own, resulting in his defeat by Cyrus the Great in 547 BC."
