Darius the Great put down a revolt by Greek cities within its empire in Asia. Some of the he Greek cities in mainland Greece had interfered in support of the revolt, so Darius set out to punish them. His force was repulsed at Marathon by Athens, so he planned a full scale expedition. He died before this came to fruition but his son Xerxes took on the project.
