Best Answer

The Persian provincial capital of Sardis was burnt be an expeditionary force from the cities of Eretria and Athens, both from outside the Persian Empire, but interfering in the revolt by the Ionian League which was in the empire. This caused Persia to move against them in 480 BCE to prevent such external interference.
