The wars started with a revolt by the Ionian city-states, expanded to include mainland Greece, which saw those Greek city-states suspend their usual warfare between them, and see off the Persian attempt ot gain control of them. When Persia gave up, they returned to fighting each other. Persia went back trying to control its empire.
