Best Answer

There was no Persian and Spartan war. Persia invaded the Greek mainland on two occasions. The first time in 490 BCE, a punitive expedition against Athens and Eretria for supporting Miletus in revolt against Persia. An Athenian commander was Miltiades, the Persian one Datis. The second time was a general invasion of Greece, commanded initially by King Xerxes, with his land commander Mardonius. Greek commanders included the Athenians Themistocles and Aristeides and Spartans Eurybiades and Pausanias.
