In B.C. 499, the Greek city-state of Athens earned the wrath of the
Persian ruler, Darius I, for its support of the anti-Persian revolt of a
Grecian colony called Miletus. Darius destroyed Miletus in B.C. 493 and
vowed revenge on the Athenians.
Darius sent a huge army to teach a lesson to Athens in B.C. 492. Athens
asked another Greek city-state, called Sparta, for help. Unfortunately for
Athens, Sparta was too busy with a religious ceremony to help when the
Persian army arrived. Athens had to attend to Darius alone. Surprisingly,
the Athenian army defeated the Persians without Spartan help.
