An artist's rendition of the triremes at the Battle of Lade. The locations of Miletus, Myus, and Lade Island at the mouth of the Meander River, including the silt buildup over recorded history. The location of the events relevant to the Heraldless War. Herodotus gives us some great detail about the training of the Ionian navy and the events of the battle itself, so today's episode takes us all over the ancient Greek world. The conclusion of our episode focuses on the naval battle that brought an end to the revolt, a letdown of a naval encounter off the island of Lade.

The end of the Ionian Revolt and Darius' campaign to retake Ionia centers on Miletus, naturally. She has gained the attention of the Persian king by briefly aiding Ionia, but before Darius repays Athenian meddling he resubjugates Ionia and the surrounding regions. Athenian ships join the revolt, but after some early success in Ionia, Athens quickly withdraws.

At the start of the episode we follow Aristagoras as he goes on a recruiting trip to Sparta and Athens, using a world map to try and sway the Spartan king into joining the revolt. If Episode 031 covered the heady, opening stages of the Ionian Revolt, then today's episode covers the denouement and rather anticlimactic conclusion of the revolt.
