centuries the Ionian cities Miletus, Samos and Eoufes were flourishing Greek colonies that dealt with a large part of the ancient trade and culture. In 550BC Lydia conquered Ionia, and later in 546 BC Persia ruled by Cyrus the Great took over the entire region. Ionians revolted against the Persian rule in 499 BC and the uprising continued for 6 long years.

The Hundred Years War slowly encouraged the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 because it was instrumental in the collapse of the feudal system, it brought about technology that caused a need for peasant soldiers thereby giving them power, and the peasants were simply tired of paying the high taxes that were supporting the long war.

different tribulations- but yet still had the same victors. How did the Persian Wars begin, well it began after the Ionian Revolt. The Revolt began due to too many battles before that were between the Atheians, Erectrians, and the Ionians. The Persians, which by this time were now led by King Darius, were outrages that the Athenians and Eretrians made treaties and agreements with Ionians. Reason being because the Athenians

Persian dynasties had short lives during the Persian period. Assassinations and usurpers were commonplace in the royal courts. The first king to rule the empire was Cyrus II who was the legitimate heir of his father Cambyses I. Cyrus II’s son Cambyses II would not have the same luck of his ancestors. In 522 BCE Cambyses was overthrown when he was campaigning in Egypt. He returned to Pasargadae but was unable to defeat the new ruler. A son of a satrap, known as Darius would defeat the usurpers and

Under the King Darius the Great, the vast Persian Empire experienced a number of revolts from the peoples they had subjugated. One of the rebelling regions was Ionia, a place on the coast of Anatolia. Ionia was originally settled by the Greeks, and when the Ionian Rebellion began, the Greek city-state of Athens offered some assistance to the rebels.  The Persian Empire, with its massive army, soon put down the Ionian rebellion. However, Darius and the Persian generals were incredibly angry that the

ambitions of the Persian Empire under King Darius and his successor, Xerxes. At its height, the Persian Empire stretched from Asia Minor to Egypt and India, and its goal was to conquer and assimilate the Greek city-states into its vast dominion. The Ionian Revolt sparked the initial conflict, where the Greek cities of Ionia, under Persian rule, rebelled against Persian control. Athens and

Attica. This battle was the first Persian invasion of Greece in september of 490 B.C. Most information we have on the battle is a historian named Herodotus who was a primary source of the event. It all started during the Ionian revolt where Athens and Eretria sent forces to help the Ionians. Athens succeeded in capturing and burning Sardis which is one of the important cities in the Persian empire. Darius the king of the Persian empire swore to burn Athens and Eretria so he charged one of his servants

Before reading this book and writing this review, I had never given much thought to the Greek life. The only part of Greek life I paid attention to was Greek mythology. Stories of gods and great heroes. I read fiction or more modern history books. Books such as JFK’s biography or Harry Potter. I was interested to learn more about the Spartans. Plus, I have seen the movie “300” many times. When I saw the book cover it said “the true story of the 300 Spartans who defended Greece”. This is why I decided

beginning of the 5th century BCE, Persia conquered Ionia, Thrace, and Macedonia while under the rule of Darius, and continued to expand his empire westward into mainland Europe. The Ionian Greek cities, in southwestern Asia Minor had already fallen subject to the Persian Empire, however, in 499 an unsuccessful revolt by the Ionian cities led Darius to seek revenge by attacking the mainland Greeks in 490. The Persians sailed across

Wars, were a series of conflicts involving the Persian empire and Greek city states or poleis between 499 and 449 BCE. Beginning when the Persian controlled Greek city states rebelled, the wars continued after Athens, and other poleis gave aid to the Ionian Greeks. Throughout the decades, both sides suffered many losses and soldiers but ultimately, the Persian Empire lost at the hand of the Greeks, led by the Athens. The Greco-Persian wars resulted in a shift of power in Greece’s city states as Athens’

a direct reflection on Heraclitus’s belief. At the time, the Persian empire had waged many war against ancient Greece. One notable war during Heraclitus’s time, that may have had a personal connection, was the Battle of Ephesus, known as the Ionian Revolt. I believe that, at the time, Heraclitus understood the waxing and waning states of war and peace and the strife needed to overcome the both of them. His views on change and the unity of opposites reinforces this idea. With war so common in ancient

The Greek victory in the Battle of Marathon was an extraordinary feat accomplished against great odds. Under the command of King Darius I, Persian armies tried to punish Athens for its support of the Ionian Revolt. Despite being outnumbered, the Athenians, led by General Miltiades, planned a clever strategy that capitalized on their strengths and the geography of Marathon (Greco-Persian Wars | Definition, Battles, Summary, Facts, Effects, & History, 2023). One important feature of the Greek victory

would have great significance to ancient Greece and world history. Athen's power grew significantly after the domination of the alliance and ushering in the Golden Age of Athens. Delian League The Greco-Persian wars started in 499 BCE with the Ionian revolt and ended with the Peace of Callias fifty years later (The Persian Wars, n.d).
