There were a couple of hundred Greek city-states located in the area. Persia was attempting to maintain peace and prosperity within its borders, while the object of each of the cities was to maintain its own independence and welfare. The cities were restive under this regime.
The Persians appointed Greek tyrants to keep their cities under control. The tyrant of Miletus brought the tensions to a head in 499 BCE when, suspecting the Persians were going to get rid of him, he organised an uprising of Greek cities in Asia Minor to save his own hide. The Ionian revolt began, and the Persians put it down.
