If you look out for Book called 'The Warriors Code' very informative;

The cities on the east coast of the Aegean sea shared a culture with Greece and Persia, but with one major difference the Persians demanded tribune and taxed all they conquer the Greeks were forced to pay to what they saw as a tyrannical Persian, King Cyrus the Great, Cyrus needed to maintain his cities and pay for the soldiers, he needed to conquer and to add his Empire to demonstrate his greatness, but the Greeks wanted the same democratic freedom enjoyed by the Athenians. In 502 BC the Greeks revolted against the Persian with the aid of Athens, Athens sent 20 Triremes (warships) to Ephesus. Encouraged by the Athenians other Greek cities soon followed, the Athenian and their Greek allied hoplites marched on the Persians city of Sardis, the Greeks sacked and burnt the city and Temples, the Persian side requested aid from Darius, when Darius heard what the Greeks had done he was furious and accepted with the condition that once the conflict was over that the entire region would be under Persian control he sent his brother Artaphernes, with an army to repel the Greeks and retake all the Persian and Greek Cities, after the Persians suppressed the Greek revolt the Athenians realised they were fighting a losing battle and a war they could not win, withdraw and returned home however many Greeks were killed or captured and inducted into Persian servitude but that was of little satisfaction to Darius, Greece had challenged the might of Persia and Darius wanted satisfaction from Greece and specifically Athens as Greeks should tend to Greek affairs and not indulge themselves in Persian politics, the revolts was all the excuse Darius needed to expand his kingdom and gain vengeance on Athens,

How did pericles persuade Athens to go to war?

He told them that Athens and its empire was stronger than the Peloponnesian League.

While Athens had plenty of money from its empire, the Peloponnesians had no such east money to finance a war; the Athenian navy was stronger - the Peloponnesians were farmers, not sailors; that Athens' fortifications were impregnable to land attack; and Athens' fleet was capable of invading the Peloponnesian cities while the home city was safe.

With this balance of power in Athens' favour, he told them to reject the Spartan ultimatum to lift the Athenian sanctions on Megara and accept war.

Neither side foresaw more than a dispute to be resolved by a battle or two, not the devastating 27-year war which ensued.
