The name that the Greeks used to refer to what we call The Persian War, i.e. the Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BCE.
After the Persians defeated the Medes and usurped their empire, they adopted the Mede style of dress and kept the Magi (a division of the Medes) as advisors and seers; for that reason, and perhaps as a subtle insult, the Greeks continued to refer to the Persians as Medes.
