A majority of Greek cities were not under Persian rule ie those stretching from Massilia (now Maresilles) through Sicily, southern Italy, North Africa, mainland Greece and some Aegean islands. Those under Persian rule were around the coasts of the Black Sea, northern and eastern Aegean Sea, and the coast of Asia Minor.
Some were restored to independence in the aftermath of the Persian invasion (478 BCE onwards) by the combined mainland Greek forces. Some were freed by Agesilaus of Sparta in the early 4th Century BCE, the rest by Alexander the Great in the later 4th Century BCE.

This and the subsequent fighting between the Greek cities so weakened the main Greek cities that it paved the way first for Persia to reclaim its control of the Greek cities in Asia Minor, and then for the rise of Macedonia to dominate mainland Greece and use this as a platform to move on to taking over the Persian Empire and spread a veneer of Hellenic culture through western Asia.
