- Histiaeus and Aristagoras were two of the tyrants appointed by Darius to rule over the Ionian city of Miletus
- Together they plotted to capture the rivaling (free) Greek island of Naxos
- Their military expedition failed miserably. Histiaeus and Aristagoras were shamed, with their positions as tyrants looking very vulnerable
- Sensing his imminent removal as a tyrant, Aristagoras chose to incite the whole of Ionia into rebellion against Darius and the Persians
