The Greek world during the Persian Wars is shown here as a divided region caught between the vast Persian Empire in the east and the independent Greek city-states around the Aegean. The map highlights Persian-controlled territory in Asia Minor, Persian vassal states in the north, neutral Greek states, and the Greek opponents of Persia, especially Athens, Sparta, Corinth, and their allies. It also traces major campaigns and battles from the Ionian Revolt through the invasions of Datis and Artaphernes, Xerxes, and Mardonius, marking key conflicts such as Marathon, Thermopylae, Artemisium, Salamis, Plataea, and Mycale. From a biblical perspective, this map helps show the broader world that followed the Persian period described in Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and Daniel; the rise of Greek power after these wars would eventually prepare the way for the Hellenistic world that shaped the setting of the New Testament.
