The Persians were sick and tired of the disruption caused by continuous fighting between the Greek city-states, with this spilling over into the Persian Empire, disrupting its peace and prosperity. They decided to bring these cities within the empire where they could be kept under control. Some of the Greek cities agreed to this, but the southern Greek cities opposed it and banded together to resist the takeover.
After the Persians failed, the Persians left them to go back to their usual destructive fighting each other.
