He didn't invade Greece - he sent a punitive expedition against Athens and Eretria, both of which had supported the uprising of Miletus in Asia Minor against Persian rule. In the process, the Athenian and Eretrian forces had burnt the provincial Persian capital of Sardis. After the partial failure of this punitive expedition of 490 BCE against Eretria (captured, inhabitants enslaved) and Athens (turned back at Marathon), Darius determined to bring mainland Greece within his empire. As the mainland cities had been supporting revolts by other Greek cities within his empire (not only Athens and Eretria), he thought that, by absorbing mainland Greece, he would establish an ethnic frontier in the west. He therefore determined to bring whatever cities he could under his rule peacefully (by bribes, and promise to make a faction in a city to be rulers under his rule, ie puppets). Those who resisted would be captured, and puppet rulers imposed on them. He was temporarily diverted by an uprising in Egypt, and then died without launching the expedition. His son Xerxes began to carry it out in 480 BCE.
