It was a naval battle between the invading Persia fleet and the combined fleets of the southern Greek city-states in 480 BCE.
By winning it, the Greeks eliminated the Persian naval threat to their home cities, and they were thus able to send out their armies the following year to combine and defeat a reduced Persian invading force.
The loss of their fleet also meant that the Persians could no longer supply their full army in Greece over the winter, and so had to send half of it back home. As a consequence the Greeks faced a half strength enemy at the decisive land battle at Plataia in 479 BCE, and were able to win it, and so end the Persian invasion.
