The Greek-Persian war's, started because Athens and Eritrea sent ships to assist the Ionian's in separating from the Persian empire, because a divided Persia is easier to conquer. It was Darius who began preparations to attack Greece but soon after he died and his son Xerxes took over the task.

This was a retaliation against Greece ( an eye for an eye), Persia was not the aggressor.
