Best Answer

Athens supported the Ionian revolt by Greek city-states in Asia Minor against Persian rule. A reprisal raid by Persia was defeated by Athens, and the Persians decided to bring all the Greek cities under its control to stop uprisings disturbing peace and prosperity in its Empire, and invaded the Greek cities in eastern Europe.
