The Greco-Persian Wars
• Dominated the middle east c. 550-330
BC

Parsa
• Incorporated various ethnic groups
• Well-run and well-administered via
cuneiform script
• System of coinage, royal roads and post

language, religion, some of its laws

(King of Kings)

Invasion
- Darius
• The Persians had conquered
the Greek city-states along
the Ionian coast
• The Ionians rebelled
• Debate over whether this
was due to discontent or
the stirring up of
Aristagoras
• The Spartans refused to
help. The Athenians sent
some ships and an
expeditionary force and
burned down Sardis
Ionian Revolt
What evidence do we have?
• Archaeological sites: buildings, battlefields
• Contemporary art
• Archaeological artefacts
• Written sources
– Mostly Greek sources
– main focus is the relations between Persia and the
Greek states
– Aim is to show Persians as immoral or overly
focused on luxuries
Effects of Persian wars
• Persians did not consider it a defeat – Spartans
defeated, Athens burned, Eritreans enslaved
• When Greece gained control of Mediterranean
trade routes
• Athens emerged most powerful polis
• Athens was rebuilt and entered a ‘golden age’
• Athens was able to unite many poleis in a defence
league
• Sparta became suspicious and formed its own
alliances
