In the early stages of the Ionian Revolt of the Greek city-states in Asia Minor against Persian rule, Athens sent a contingent to help the Athenians, and when they captured the Persian provincial capital of Sardis, they burnt the city down and destroyed the statues of the Persian gods. When the Persians captured Athens 20 years ater, they destroyed the Athenian gods as a mark of retaliation.
