History: Mardonius came back into favour under Darius' successor Xerxes I. Xerxes was at first not interested in renewing the war with Greece, but Mardonius repeatedly tried to convince him that he must avenge Darius' defeat, in opposition to another advisor, Artabanus, who urged more caution in the matter. Herodotus, who portrays Mardonius as a somewhat evil advisor (as opposed to a number of other good advisors whose arguments are never followed), says that Mardonius simply wanted to become governor of Greece. He was present at the Battle of Thermopylae, and after the Persian defeat at the Battle of Salamis, he attempted to convince Xerxes to stay and fight yet another battle. This time Mardonius could not persuade Xerxes, but when Xerxes left he did become governor of the parts of Greece that had been conquered. He subdued Macedon of king Alexander I, but Alexander himself gave valuable informations about Mardonius' plans to the Athenians, saying that, as a Greek, he didn't bear to see Greece enslaved. Then Mardonius recaptured Athens, which had been deserted before the Battle of Salamis. He offered to return Athens and help rebuild the city if the Athenians would accept a truce, but the Athenians rejected the truce and prepared for another battle.
