When the Ionian Greek cities in Asia Minor revolted, he put down the revolt in a 7 year operation, and installed local Greek tyrants to keep them under control.
The revolt was supported from mainland Greece by Eretria and Athens who sent contingents to help. These were involved in an expedition which burnt down the Persian provincial capital Sardis, and destroyed the gods in the city.
Persia resolved to punish this and sent an amphibious force to capture them and install locals as tyrants, again to keep them quiet in the future. When this expedition was defeated at Marathon, the Persian king decided to get control of mainland Greece to keep them all quiet. This was done by gaining control of the cities in central Greece by bribery, then a major expedition was mounted to capture the southern cities.
This invasion failed at the battles of Salamis, Plataia and Mycale. The fighting went on for a further 20 years, until the Persians got tired of this and agreed to leave the Greeks alone to continue their usual fighting amongst each other.
So after 50 years of warfare, neither Greeks nor Persians had any love for each other.
King Darius of Persia was angry at the Athenians primarily because they supported the Ionian Revolt against Persian rule. The Athenians sent ships and troops to aid the Ionian cities, which defied Persian authority and threatened Darius’s control over the region. In retaliation, Darius sought to punish Athens, leading to the famous Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE. This conflict marked a significant moment in the struggle between Persia and the Greek city-states.
