It was not the Greeks, it was the Macedonians, who used Greek and other mercenaries to support them.
Alexander the great king of Macedonia, spent ten years taking over the Persian Empire. He did this in three major battles which broke coordinated Persian resistance, and then dealt with the outlying provinces one at a time.

Did Sparta defeat Persia?
No. The Spartans defeated about 500,000 Persians along with about 1,700 Greeks. Later on in the war, they withdrew to defend Sparta and lost the war. The Spartans alone did not fight or defeat Persians and Persian allies. Many Greek city states allied and defeated Persians in land and sea battles in two separate wars. The only Greek defeat from the most famous battles in the two separate Persian invasions was in Thermopylae. And even then, few thousand Greeks died, including plus or minus 300 Spartans, while it is believed more than 20,000 Persians and their allies that included many Greeks, died in Thermopylae. So it was an honorable defeat.

They adopted a superior strategy of first defeating the Persian navy, and cutting off their sea supply line. The Persians had to send half their army home for the winter, and the Greeks united the city-state armies to defeat the depleted Persian army.
