The Persians conquered Greece, by doing so, abolishing slavery and bringing equality and Persian culture to Greece.
Another View:
The above is a quaint viewpoint as the Persians themselves owned a few million slaves, and brought a goodly number along in their invasion force as cooks, servants and prostitutes.
And of course the Persians did not conquer Greece. They were defeated in their invasion - after an initial defeat of The Ionians in Asia Minor 499-493 BCE and a naval victory at Artemesion 480 BCE, they were defeated at Salamis 480 BCE, Plataia 479 BCE, Mykale 479 BCE, Eurymedon $66 BCE and Cyprus 450 BCE plus several lesser battles until they gave up their design on incorporating the Greeks into their empire after a struggle lasting 499-450 BCE in the Peace of Callias 449 BCE. And then a hundred-odd years later Alexander the great brought Greek culture to Persia, not the other way around.
Thermopylai was a minor holding action of a few days in a fifty-year war - it changed nothing other than to become a legendary story of the Spartans and Thespians who sacrificed themselves covering the withdrawal of the rest of the Greek contingents at Thermopylai.
