Greece—Ionian Revolt Against Persia 185
with his head thrust through one of the port-holes of his own vessel. Now it
so happened that this captain was a valued friend of Aristagoras, who immedi-
ately set him free and warned the Persian general that his rank was subordinate
to his own. Naturally the Persian was not soothed by this treatment, and as
soon as night came he sent a message to the Naxians warning them of their
danger. Until then they had had no thought that the expedition was intended
to act against them. They hurriedly carried their property into the city and
made preparations to withstand a long siege. The Persian fleet arrived, but
was repulsed by the resolute resistance, and several months later gave up the
siege and returned to Miletus. Aristagoras was in a desperate plight.
He had made a bitter enemy of
the Persian general and had deceived Artaphernes, so that no favor was to be
expected from the Persian government. Probably, too, he would soon be called
upon to pay the expenses of the disastrous expedition
