In response to the Ionian Revolt, the Athenians sent ships and soldiers to support the Ionian cities fighting against Persian rule. This assistance was part of a broader strategy to counter Persian influence and assert Athenian power in the region. However, this involvement angered the Persian Empire and ultimately led to the invasion of Greece by Xerxes in the following years. The Athenians' support for the revolt is often seen as a catalyst for the larger conflict between Greece and Persia.
