Darius I swore to get revenge on the Greeks primarily due to their support of the Ionian Revolt against Persian rule in the early 5th century BCE. The Greeks' defiance and the subsequent burning of Sardis, a key Persian city, humiliated Darius and challenged his authority. This led him to view the Greeks as a threat to his empire, prompting his desire for retribution, which ultimately manifested in the Persian Wars.

Persian King Darius sought revenge against the Athenians primarily due to their support for the Ionian Revolt, where Greek city-states in Asia Minor rebelled against Persian rule. The Athenians sent military assistance to the Ionian cities, which Darius viewed as a direct challenge to his authority. Additionally, Darius aimed to expand Persian influence and viewed punishing Athens as a way to deter other Greek city-states from opposing him. This desire for retribution ultimately led to the Persian Wars, including the famous Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE.
