The Persian king Darius became convinced that the only way to ensure peace around the western part of his empire was to take control of all the Greek city-states and appoint local tyrants to keep them quiet, under overall control of a Persian provincial governor. Many of the Greek cities resisted and were led by Sparta and Athens in resisting this.
