The Greeks were prolific breeders, which is why they established colonies all around the Mediterranean and Black Seas to provide for their excess population which could not be maintained in such a poor countryside as mainalnd Greece.

The Persian War lasted spasmodically for fifty years, and the casualties in the war were no more able to absorb the excess population than had the normal internal wars before and after the Persian War.

So the colonies continued to be established, then and later.

Why were the Greeks able to unite during the persion wars?

The Greeks were able to unite during the Persian Wars primarily due to the common threat posed by the Persian Empire, which prompted a sense of shared identity among the various city-states. Key leaders, such as Themistocles and Miltiades, emphasized the need for collaboration, leading to the formation of alliances like the Hellenic League. Additionally, cultural ties and a legacy of rivalry with Persia fostered a collective resolve to defend their autonomy and way of life. This unity, although temporary, was crucial in achieving significant victories at battles such as Marathon and Salamis.
