The Rise of Persia and the First Greco-Persian Wars: The Expansion of the Achaemenid Empire and the Battle of Marathon

Historie

This ancient military history examines the rise of Achaemenid Persia as it expanded into Europe to become the era’s dominant superpower.

In this enlightening history, Manousos Kambouris examines the first Greco-Persian War from the Persian perspective, framing it within the larger narrative of Achaemenid Empire’s rise. After relating the earlier Persian campaigns in Europe, Kambouris shows how the Ionian Revolt—by the Greeks of Asia Minor already under Persian rule—played a role in the subsequent conflict. Darius I, the Persian King of Kings, ordered the invasion of Greece ostensibly to punish the Athenians for their support of the Revolt, but in truth he sought to achieve god-ordained world dominance.

Describing the invasion in great detail, the author analyses the king's immense (even if occasionally exaggerated) army, considering its composition and logistical constraints. The campaign leading to Marathon and the decisive battle itself are then clearly narrated. Kambouris' meticulous research brings fresh insights to this timeless tale of defiance and victory for the underdog.
