What was the result of the salamis battle?
The Greeks won the Battle of Salamis through genius strategy and used similar tactics to the ones used at Thermopylae. The Greeks sailed their fleet into a narrow channel between two parts of the island of salamis, completely taking away the advantage of the large, phoenician built, Persian ships and taking away the advantage of their numbers, just like at Thermopylae. The Greeks then used their smaller, more maneuverable ships to ram and sink the Persian vessels, dealing a crushing defeat to Xerxes army. This defeat caused Xerxes to lose his will to fight, and he returned to Persia with the bulk of his army only leaving behind 70,000 in a hopeless last effort to defeat the Greeks. This Persian army of 70,000 would later be crushed at the Battle of Plataea, the final battle of the Persian wars.
