The second Persian invasion of Greece was initiated by Emperor Xerxes I. Following the defeat of his father Darius I at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, Xerxes aimed to expand Persian control and sought revenge against the Greek city-states. His campaign culminated in significant battles such as those at Thermopylae and Salamis in 480 BCE.
