The Persian empire took over Ionia, and tried to force them to pay tribute. They were also forced to serve the Persian army. They wanted to defeat the Persian Empire, but knew they couldn't because they were a small group of people, so they called to Athens for help. But after Athens had an initial success, they left. This left the Ionians alone, and they lost the battle against the Persians. as a punishment for turning against them, the Persians ruined the city of Meletus.
