However he leaves out details such as which contingents in the Ionian fleets were helpful and which were not as he says he “cannot relate for certain which Ionian contingents fought well and which fought ill; as reports are confused” (p. 349). Herodotus form of writing is confusing but it is enjoyable to read if you enjoy the extra trivial facts such as input from
Herodotus attributes the revolt to the "ambitions and intrigues of the tyrant of Miletus, Aristagoras." While this is corroborated by modern studies (12), it is unlikely to have been the singular cause, and modern scholarship has suggested adjacent motives. Creditable M. I. Finley, holding a Ph.
