King Cyrus and King Darius controlled Persia through a combination of military strength, administrative efficiency, and respect for local customs. Cyrus, known for his policy of tolerance, allowed conquered peoples to maintain their religions and practices, which helped foster loyalty. Darius further centralized the administration by dividing the empire into provinces, or satrapies, each governed by a satrap who reported directly to him, ensuring effective governance and tax collection. Both kings built extensive road systems, enhanced communication, and promoted trade, contributing to the stability and prosperity of the empire.

King Darius of Persia was angry at the Athenians primarily because they supported the Ionian Revolt against Persian rule.
