Siege of Eion was a seige that resulted in the capturing of Eion by the Delian League. The seige was the first recorderd action of the Delian League. Eion was occupied by the Persians in 476 BC in the aftermath of the Greco-Persian Wars. It was then captured by the Delian League in 475 BC under the leadership of the Athenian general Cimon, the son of Miltiades the Younger. The inhabitants were enslaved. The capture of Eion was the beginning of a military campaign undertaken by the newly formed Delian League, whose objective was to clear the Aegean Sea of Persian fleets and pirates in order to facilitate Athenian access to the Hellespont.
