The Persian War was 499-449 BCE. It comprised several phases, not the erroneous idea peddled by some today.
It began with the Ionian Revolt in western Asia Minor 499-493 BCE.
This was followed by the Persian punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens 490 BCE.
Then followed the invasion of mainland Greece 480-479 BCE.
Then followed sporadic battles with the Delian League 478-450 BCE.
It was endedby the Peace of Callias 449 BCE.
Where in this are the First, Second etc Persian Wars?
