There were two sides. An assembled team of Greek states and the Persians. The Greek states were heavily outnumbered, due to the size of the Persian army and the fact that many Greek states didn't send any armies. The Greeks beat the Persians in the naval battle, forcing them to go through the narrow pass guarded by the states' armies. The armies stood at the pass blocking the Persians. The Persians failed to destroy the blocking army. Eventually a local citizen showed the Persians a path through the mountains. The leader of the army King Leonidas decided to send the bulk of the army away and keep about 1100 men to keep blocking the pass. These men were annihilated, but it was a Pyrrihic victory for the Persians, as they lost more men then they killed. The Persians were later defeated by the Greeks a year after the battle

The Spartans if I think I know what your asking fought the massive army of Persians in order to stay free from foreign rule. They did not, however, beat them
In the early stages from 499 BCE when Persia dominated, they were able to use Greek inter-city rivalries and disunity, ease of bribing their leaders, and in the field, the superiority of their cavalry and the fleets, which latter they levied from Phoenecia, Egypt and the Ionian Greeks as well. As the Greeks gained more cohesion and the will to combine for their common defence, they were able to consistently defeat the Persians on sea and land, until Persia agreed to peace in 449 BCE.
