No, it was a punitive expedition launched by Darius I against not the Greeks generally but Eretria and Athens. Eretria was captured and enslaved but Athens defeated the attack on it at Marathon and in front of the city in 490 BCE. Cyrus the Great was killed in a battle with the Massagetae the previous century and was subsequently succeeded by his son Cambyses II.
