Document Summary

Greece and the persians: archaeology, history and theatre part two. The east comes to greece: the persian invasion: the first time that is known to history where the east is coming into the aegean in a hostile way, previously small scale interactions through trading. In a desperate attempt to gain an ally against sparta: darius did not help the athens and considered them his subjects, the athenians were not happy with their messengers, 499 493 bce. Ionian revolt: athens and euboea send ship to help, sardis is burned, athens leaves, the persians wanted to punish the athenians. In their mind the athenians were their subjects: darius leads army against the ionians and wins. Persians: athenian / spartan navy and the ionians versus the persians, the greeks won ridding the water of persian ships, until 450 bce there were still conflicts with persians.
