It supported (499 BC) the Ionian cities in the revolt against Persian control. In retaliation Darius I destroyed (490 BC) the city. Athens planted (c.445 BC) a colony there, which revolted in 411 with the rest of Euboea. Much later, after the second Delian League had been created, Eretria again revolted (349 BC).
