According to Herodotus:
- The ambitions and intrigues of a scheming Aristagoras
Underlying causes:
- The Greeks had lost their autonomy and independence, something that was precious to them
- They were subject not only to another power, but an oriental "barbarian" king
- Tyrants had been imposed on them and tyranny was no longer acceptable to the Greeks (they preferred more democratic systems)
