This is a concise history of Darius the Great’s invasion of Greece, now known as the First Persian War. The invasion would end with the Greeks holding out at the Battle of Marathon and turning the tide, but it would also be a predecessor for Darius’s son, Xerxes, to launch a second invasion only years later.
