The Greeks, in opposing the Persian invasion, decided to first defeat the Persian fleet as it threatened their cities and they had to leave their armies defending them against amphibious attacks and therefore could not concentrate them for a land battle. This allowed the Persians the option of picking off the cities one at a time. In order to force a sea battle, they therefore blocked the land pass at the Thermopylae pass to force the Persians to try to turn it by sea. The Greek fleet was waiting to pounce in the narrow strait of Artemesium nearby Thermopylae. Unfortunately for the Greeks they lost the sea battle and had to withdraw for another (successful) sea battle at Salamis. The blocking force at Thermopylae of 7,000, its mission now over after the sea battle, was withdrawn. The Spartan and Thespian contingents remained behind to cover their withdrawal and were overwhelmed.
