The first Persian invasion of Greece was brought on by what?
The Greek cities in Asia (colonised by the mainland Greek cities) were restive under Persian rule. Miletus revolted, Eretria and Athens sent military assistance, and were over-adventurous in burning the Persian provincial capital Sardis. After reducing Miletus, in 490 BCE Persian king Darius sent a punitive expedition (not an invasion of Greece) against the two cities to warn the Greeks to stay out of his empire; he also wanted to neutralise the two offenders by installing puppet regimes in them. Eretria was reduced, but Athens defeated the attack on it. This led Darius to plan the submission of all mainland Greece in order to establish an ethnic frontier of his empire in the west. This led to the invasion of Greece in 480 BCE afterhis death by his son and successor king Xerxes.
