It was the bend in the 'straight' at Salamis.
Persia
persia prevented Sparta and Athens from uniting.
The war against Persia. It united all of Greece, including Athens and Sparta.
Athens lost its empire. Sparta gained temporary ascendancy until defeated by Thebes 30 years later. Greece was devastated and weakened. Persia, defeated nearly a century earlier, was able to dictate a peace. Macedonia was able to exert hegemony over Greece, and defeat Persia.
In both invasions of Greece by Persia, the Persian armies were defeated by Greek hoplites and soldiers. The major losses were the famous 300 Spartans and 1,000 Thesbians who defended Thermopylae to protect Athens.
Persia lost.
It was not the Greeks but the Greek city-state of Eretria.The Persians then switched to Athens which defeated them at Marathon.
Greeceok, Greece PWNED Persiahee hee Persia need better infantry rather than a lot of infantry.
Technically Neither. after the last stand of the 300 Spartans at the battle of Thermopylae Greece was taken over by Macedon and for the first time in their long history the Greeks were united and (who you might have heard of) Alexander the Great took the throne and conquered all of Persia and northern Egypt. but to answer your question Athens for that was were Alexander ruled from.
HellasPersia never conquered the whole of Greece and the bits that medized (submitted to Persia) were quickly intimidated back away by the major powers of Athens and Sparta. Persia kept trying to conquer Greece because, simply, it was described to Darius and Xerxes as the most beautiful place in the world, and they wanted it.
no Persia is in Asia and Greece is in Europe
The distance from Persia (modern-day Iran) to Athens, Greece, varies depending on the specific locations considered. However, a direct distance between the ancient capitals of Persia, such as Persepolis, and Athens is approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers). Trade routes and ancient pathways could increase that distance significantly.
