The Persian king at the time of the Ionian Revolt (which began in 499 BCE) was Darius I, also known as Darius the Great. He ruled from 522 to 486 BCE and sought to consolidate and expand the Persian Empire. The revolt, initiated by the Ionian city-states against Persian rule, ultimately led to significant conflicts between Persia and Greece, including the Greco-Persian Wars. Darius's efforts to suppress the revolt laid the groundwork for these larger confrontations.
Darius I, the third king of the Persian Empire, effectively controlled and expanded the empire through a combination of administrative reforms and military conquests. He centralized power by dividing the empire into satrapies, or provinces, each overseen by a governor, which improved governance and tax collection. Darius also implemented a standardized system of weights and measures, as well as a common currency, facilitating trade and economic stability. His military campaigns extended Persian influence into regions such as Egypt, Greece, and parts of India, solidifying the empire's power and reach.

Darius I, also known as Darius the Great, was the third king of the Persian Empire, reigning from 522 to 486 BCE. He is known for his administrative reforms and expansion of the empire, but he harbored animosity towards the Greeks, primarily due to their resistance against Persian rule. This animosity was exacerbated by events such as the Ionian Revolt, where Greek city-states rebelled against Persian control, and the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, where the Greeks achieved a surprising victory over his forces. Darius viewed the Greeks as a threat to his empire's stability and expansion.
Zoroastrianism was the new religion that developed during Darius's rule of the Persian Empire. It was founded by the prophet Zoroaster (Zarathustra) and emphasized the worship of Ahura Mazda as the supreme deity and the belief in a cosmic struggle between good and evil.
Darius.
Darius I, also known as Darius the Great, ruled the Achaemenid Empire from 522 BCE until his death in 486 BCE. His reign lasted for approximately 36 years. Darius is noted for his administrative reforms, construction projects, and expansion of the empire.
Darius I swore to get revenge on the Greeks primarily due to their support of the Ionian Revolt against Persian rule in the early 5th century BCE. The Greeks' defiance and the subsequent burning of Sardis, a key Persian city, humiliated Darius and challenged his authority. This led him to view the Greeks as a threat to his empire, prompting his desire for retribution, which ultimately manifested in the Persian Wars.
