Ionians on the defensive

After this defeat, the Athenians and Eretrians retreated back to Greece. The Persians then went on the offensive and soundly crushed the revolt:

  • There was a great battle at Ladé
  • Samos withdrew, followed by others
  • The Greeks were defeated
  • Miletus was destroyed and its people sold into slavery
  • Histiaeus was killed and Aristagoras fled to Thrace
