Persia made one serious invasion of mainland Greece in 480-479 BCE aimed at installing puppet regimes in all the Greek cities, defeated at the sea battle of Salamis 480 and the land battles of Plataia and Mykale 479 BCE.

Ten years earlier it had mounted a limited punitive expedition against the cities of Eretria and Athens for interfering in Asia Minor supporting the revolt of the Greek city Miletus and burning down the Persian provincial capital Sardis. This expedition was turned back by the battle of Marathon 490 BCE.
