Thasos was important during the [[Ionian Revolt]] against [[Persian Empire|Persia]]. After the capture of [[Miletus]] (494 BC) [[Histiaeus of Miletus|Histiaeus]], the [[Ionia]]n leader, laid siege. The attack failed, but, warned by the danger, the Thasians employed their revenues to build war ships and strengthen their fortifications. This excited the suspicions of the [[Persian people|Persians]], and [[Darius I of Persia|Darius]] compelled them to surrender their ships and pull down their walls.<ref>Agelarakis A., – Y., Serpanos "Auditory Exostoses, Infracranial Skeleto-Muscular Changes and Maritime Activities in Classical Period Thasos Island", Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry, Vol. 10, No. 2, 2010, 45–57.</ref> After the defeat of [[Xerxes I|Xerxes]] the Thasians joined the [[Delian League]]; but afterwards, on account of a difference about the mines and marts on the mainland, they revolted.

The [[Athenians]] defeated them by sea, and, after a siege that lasted more than two years, took the capital, Thasos, probably in 463 BC, and compelled the Thasians to destroy their walls, surrender their ships, pay an indemnity and an annual contribution (in 449 BC this was 21 talents, from 445 BC about 30 talents), and resign their possessions on the mainland. In 411 BC, at the time of the oligarchical revolution at Athens, Thasos again revolted from Athens and received a [[Lacedaemon]]ian governor; but in 407 BC the partisans of Lacedaemon were expelled, and the Athenians under [[Thrasybulus]] were admitted.

The island is formed mainly by [[gneiss]]es, [[schist]]s and [[marble]]s of the [[Rhodope Mountains|Rhodope]] Massif. Marble sequences corresponding to the Falacron Marbles intercalated by schists and gneisses, are up to 500m thick and are separated from the underlying gneisses by a transition zone about 300 m thick termed the T-zone consisting of alternances of dolomitic and calcitic marbles intercalated by schists and gneisses.
