Greece and Anatolia · Animated schematic fronts
Greco-Persian Wars
Persian expeditions and Greek resistance in the Aegean world.
This war had no continuous front. The line is a schematic limit of advance and operations: it summarises campaigns and is not a trench line or an administrative border. The coloured areas are operational sides, not evidence of contiguous occupation; in-between frames are interpolated and closing edges are graphic. The line follows the Persian land army in Greece (492–479 BCE); the seaborne expedition to Marathon and the Ionian Revolt are not shown.
