Title question

Shouldn't this be titled the Ionian Revolt? Ionian is the adjective for the colonies, and it also has a lot more results on Google. Ionian Revolt is also what my Greek history textbook calls it, at least :) Adam Bishop 21:20, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I chose the title based on the articles that were already linking to the non-existent article. I wouldn't really have any problem with a title change (and a Google search shows that more articles refer to them as the "Ionian Revolts", although they didn't link to anything), but don't have the time right now. If someone else wants to tackle it, I give a complete thumb's up. Justin Bacon 19:48, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Excellent article. I only found the most minor of issues and have made those changes myself (primarily relating to colon and semicolon usage). Easily passes on first reading. — Bellhalla (talk) 22:03, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy of the information dealing with the battle of the Marsyas

I have concerns about the reliability and accuracy of the following section:

"Battle of the Marsyas Hearing that the Carians had rebelled, Daurises now led his army south into Caria. The Carians gathered at the "White Pillars", on the Marsyas river (the modern Çine), a tributary of the Maeander.[51] Pixodorus, the son of the great Carian satrap Mausolus, suggested that the Carians should cross the river, and fight with it at their backs, to prevent retreat and thus make them fight more bravely. This idea was rejected, and the Carians made the Persians cross the river to fight them.[51] The ensuing battle was, according to Herodotus, a long affair, with the Carians fighting obstinately before eventually succumbing to the weight of Persian numbers. Herodotus suggests that 10,000 Carians and 2,000 Persians died in the battle.[52]"

The references to the "great Carian satrap Mausolus" and to his son, Pixodorus, are linked in the article to the 4th century BC Carian satrap Mausolus (of mausoleum fame). So to be talking about Mausolus participating in the Ionian Revolt surely cannot be correct unless coincidentally, a Carian leader of the same name who also happened to have a son called Pixodorus lived in the early fifth century BC. --Chaleyer61 (talk) 06:58, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I consider it a real concern that over a year after I raised a question over the factual accuracy of a paragraph in this article (see above), there has not been a single response. Is there anyone "out there" taking any interest in this article which, after all, is rated as a "good" article? Thanks. --Chaleyer61 (talk) 03:42, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, obviously it wasn't that Mausolus, but Herodotus does indeed give those names. Adam Bishop (talk) 07:16, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good, thank you for your response. --Chewings72 (talk) 12:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Creating separate articles for the battles of the war

I’ve created an article for the Battle of Ephesus (498 BC) using the material from this article, and i plan to create similar articles for the other battles of the war some point soon SamMcDermott (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:40, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
