Darius filled Persia's capital city, Persepolis, with gold, silver, and artwork to symbolize the wealth and power of the Persian Empire. This opulence was intended to showcase the empire's prosperity and attract visitors, reinforcing Darius's status as a formidable ruler. Additionally, the grandeur of the city served to unify the diverse cultures within the empire and project an image of stability and strength to both subjects and rivals. Ultimately, it was a statement of imperial pride and ambition.


Why did the Persian king Darius want revenge against the Athenians?

Persian King Darius sought revenge against the Athenians primarily due to their support for the Ionian Revolt, where Greek city-states in Asia Minor rebelled against Persian rule. The Athenians sent military assistance to the Ionian cities, which Darius viewed as a direct challenge to his authority. Additionally, Darius aimed to expand Persian influence and viewed punishing Athens as a way to deter other Greek city-states from opposing him. This desire for retribution ultimately led to the Persian Wars, including the famous Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE.
