Abstract
Achaemenid Persian diplomacy extended the empire's patronage over a peripheral client network, exchanging favor for deference from dependent partners. It is best attested in Persia's relations with Aegean Greek states, including efforts to secure their surrender before the Greco‐Persian Wars, the funding of Sparta against Athens in the Peloponnesian War, and the imposition of the King's Peace in the early fourth century.
