This is a teaser of the bonus episode, Persia Moves West found over on Patreon.

Coming out of the Ionian revolt, Persia would look to continue pushing campaigns north and west from Anatolia. This would see Persian forces march into Thrace and Macedon, while also seeing them campaign through the Aegean all the way to the Greek mainland. For the Greeks they had seen these campaigns of 492 BC and 490 BC as attempts at subjugating all Greek lands. In this bonus episode we take a look at these campaigns and see if this was the Persian objective, or were there more limited aims in mind for now.
