The Greco-Persian Wars, also called the Persian Wars, were a series of armed conflicts involving various Greek city-states and the Achaemenid Empire from 499 BC[i] to 449 BC. Persian king Cyrus the Great conquered the Greek-inhabited region of Ionia in 547 BC. The wars were continued by King Darius. - Summary by LynneT
