When Xerxes I's father Darius I died, he took first suppressed a rebellion in Egypt, then took over his father's project of absorbing the Greek cities of mainland Greece into the Empire to stop them interfering in the Empire and disrupting peace. He bribed the Greek city-states to submit, and led an expedition to suppress those who would not submit.
This invasion failed so he set about consolidating the Empire as it was. The Greek cities in Asia Minor were led by Athens to form the Delian League, and this was successful in keeping Persia at bay for the rest of Xerxes' lifetime.
