The main part was 480-479 BCE, though there were later engagements at Eurymedon 466 BCE and Cyprus 450, after which the 449 Peace of Callias was made, putting an end to direct conflict for fifty years, when outbreaks began again, until finally ended by the Macedonian conquest of the Persian Empire in the late 4th Century BCE..

First, Second, Third wars are an unrealistic modern construct of some less-than-informed people.

The phases of the Persian War were:

Ionian Revolt 499-493 BCE.

Persian punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens 490 BCE.

Persian invasion of peninsular Greece 480-479 BCE.

Delian League battles with Persia 478-449 BCE.

The Persian War 499-449 was not against Athens. It was a struggle for supremacy in the Western Mediterranean between the Persian Emoire and a couple of hundred independent Greek cty-states who banded together to oppose it.
