It chanced that they found the Ionians no longer at Sardis [28.0167,38.475] (Perseus) Sardis, but following on their tracks, they caught them at +Ephesus [27.316,37.916] (deserted settlement), Izmir Ili, Ege kiyilari, Turkey, Asia Ephesus. There the Ionians stood arrayed to meet them, but were utterly routed in the battle.

The Persians put to the sword many men of renown including Eualcides the general of the Eretrians who had won crowns as victor in the games and been greatly praised by Simonides of +Kea [24.366,37.566] (island), Cyclades, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Ceos. Those of the Ionians who escaped from the battle fled, each to his city.
