The Ionian rebellion brought in support from mainland Greek city-states Eretria and Athens. After suppressing the revolt, Persia sent an expedition to capture those two city-states and put them under control of local tyrants to stop them causing trouble within the Persian Empire. This expedition was defeated, so the Persians decided that the only way to end Greek revolts was to bring all the mainland city-states under a Persian governor. They mounted a full-scale invasion by land and sea.
The southern Greek cities were thus under threat of a sea invasion, and had to keep their armies at home to protect their cities. They decided that their solution was to destroy the Persian navy, so they could then bring their armies out to unite and defeat the Persian army. They set up a blocking force at the pass of Thermopylae to force the Persians to turn the position by sea, and the Greek navies were waiting in the nearby strait of Artemesion to pounce on the Persian fleet.
Unfortunately for the Greeks, their fleet lost the sea battle, and with the blocking force at Thermopylae of no further use, it was withdrawn. The Spartan and Thespian elements of that force remained in place to cover the withdrawal, and were lost.
The Greeks tried again at Salamis and succeeded in destroying the Persian fleet, hen were able to assemble their armies the following year at Plataea, and won, so the invasion was defeated.
