Based on the map why might the Persian Empire have been a threat to Greece?

Persia had already absorbed the Greek city-states in Asia Minor. These states were restless and encouraged revolts against Persia. Persia sent an expedition to bring the main troublemakers, Eretria and Athens under control, but it was defeated at Marathon. Persia then tried to bring all the Greeks under its control to prevent their constant wars, but failed and eventually left them alone to go back to fighting each other.


What were the consequences of the Persian invasion of Greece?

The Persians lost, and the war went on for another 30 years until Persia gave up its attempts to impose peace on the Greek city-states and left them to go back to their customary fighting and destruction of each other.

When the peloponnesian war happened?

The Peloponnese is the almost-an-island southern part of Greece connected to the rest of Greece by the Isthmus of Corinth. Because Sparta was located on this part of Greece, and because its history was written by an Athenian, I am guessing that is why it is still called the Peloponnesian War. If it had been written by a Spartan, we would probably know it as the Attican War, because Attica is where Athens was located. The best thing that I can suggest for you to do is go online and find a war map of the Peloponnessian War which will show the areas of operation and major battles, not all of which were fought in Greece. The siege of Syracuse, for example, took place in Sicily.
