Topic:
Classical Greece: Peloponnesian War
The revolt of Greek city-states in Ionia in 499 BCE sparked a series of conflicts between Persia and Greece. The Persians launched an attack on mainland Greece to punish the Greek city-states for their support of the Ionian rebels. The Persian defeat at Marathon led eventually to the full-scale invasion of Greece under Xerxes. A number of factors contributed to the Greek victory. The situation remained a stalemate until the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War gave the Persians a new opportunity to dominate Greece.
