Best Answer

In Asia Minor where there was an uprising of Greek cities against Persian rule. Eretria and Athens intervened on the rebel side. Persia later attempted to put them under a governor to keep them under control. The Persian expedition was defeated at Marathon which led the Persians to attempt full control of mainland Greece to maintain peace within their empire.
