Detailed explanation-1: -The invasion, consisting of two distinct campaigns, was ordered by the Persian king Darius the Great primarily in order to punish the city-states of Athens and Eretria. These cities had supported the cities of Ionia during their revolt against Persian rule, thus incurring the wrath of Darius.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the Ionian Revolt, several Greek city-states rebelled against Persian conquest. At the time, some of the city-states, such as Aeolis, Dorus, and Cyprus, had been taken over by the mighty empire. Rather than accept this as their fate, the people decided to rise up against Persian rule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greco-Persian Wars, also called Persian Wars, (492–449 bce), series of wars fought by Greek states and Persia over a period of almost half a century. The fighting was most intense during two invasions that Persia launched against mainland Greece between 490 and 479.
