The Ionian Revolt was a period of revolt of Greek cities under Persian rule in modern-day Turkey from 499 to 493 BCE, which threatened cities that depend on grain shipments from the northern part of the Black Sea. Despite the revolt, the Greeks were great colonizers with cities all over the Mediterranean region.
