Best Answer

It began with a punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens 490 BCE, and culminated with a full scale invasion of peninsular Greece 480-479 BCE. The war went on for another 30 years until the Persians gave up the idea of imposing peace on Greece and left them to continue their usual fighting amongst themselves.
