Darius invaded Greece to avenge the support that Athenians and Eretrians provided during the Ionian Revolt against Persia. This invasion occurred in 490 BCE, and Darius sought to punish Athens for its involvement. Ultimately, the Persian invasion ended in defeat for Darius's forces at the Battle of Marathon.
