The Ionian Revolt | Greco-Persian Wars, Episode 4

The Greco-Persian Wars shook the ancient world and set the stage for the age that followed them, but equally important to the battles of Salamis and Plataea is the Ionian Revolt, the initial spark that caused conflict to flare up between Persia and the Greeks. The rebellion that erupted here – and the retribution that followed – was only the first brutal round in this conflict.
