If I really wanted to criticize that one line summary of an epic event, the way would be to point out, just as Thucydides did in his final years, how intimately Persia was working in the scaffolding of the theater, as it were.

Twitterpedia might find a niche for a *range* of different one-line summaries of events, where it is the differences between the summaries that help bring out key points.
