Battle Of Ephesus (498 BC)
The Battle of Ephesus was a battle in 498 BC between Persian and Greek forces during the Ionian revolt. The Persians defeated the Greek army and compelled the Athenians and Eretrians to abandon their alliance with the Ionians. Background The Ionian Revolt was triggered by the dissatisfaction of the Greek cities of Asia Minor with the tyrants appointed by Persia to rule them.

This victory resulted in the downfall of Alcibiades, and established Lysander as a commander who could defeat the Athenians at sea.
