The naval battle of Salamis 480 BCE destroyed the Persian naval supremacy, removing the amphibious threat to the cities which kept the cities' armies at home defending them, and able to be picked off one by one. It also exposed the essential Persian sea-supply line, and they had to sent half their army home.
As a result, the Greek cities were able to concentrate at Plataia 479 BCE and defeat the depleted Persian army, simultaneously destroying the rump of the Persian fleet at Mykale.
