Athens led a league of 180 Greek city-states after the Persian invasion had been driven back to preserve the independence of those cities which had been under Persian rule. After the Persian Empire gave up trying to impose peace on these Greek cities, Athens kept control of them, turned them into an empire of its own. It lived high on the proceeds and kept a large fleet which forcibly collected the annual funds levied for defence against Persia, but now used by Athens for its own benefit.
