Events
By place
Greece
- Potidaea is struck by a tsunami.
- An Athenian and Eretrian fleet transports Athenian troops to Ephesus. There they are joined by a force of Ionians and march upon Sardis, the capital of Artaphernes (the satrap of Lydia and brother to Darius I of Persia). Artaphernes, who had sent most of his troops to besiege Miletus, is taken by surprise. However, Artaphernes was able to retreat to the citadel and hold it. Although the Greeks were unable to take the citadel, they pillaged the town and set fires that burned Sardis to the ground.
- Retreating to the coast, the Greek forces are met by the Persians under Artaphernes and defeated.
