The Greek city-states which banded together to defeat the Persian invasion in 480-479 BCE didn't gain control of Greece, they defeated the Persians to defend their cities, and having done so went back to trying to enjoy their independent life.
They didn't get control of Greece - each city owned its own territory which collectively made up the Greek world - over 2,000 independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, some of which formed alliances for security. The Ionian League was under Persian control. a league of southern Greek cities led by Sparta repelled the Persian invasion, the Delian League led by Athens liberated the Ionian cities and caused the Persians to come to peace with the Greek cities.

∙ 14y agoAs the Persians didn't control Greece (the cities of Asia Minor were under their control) no one gained control of Greece by defeating them. Philip II of Macedon became Hegemon of Greece by defeating Thebes, Athens etc.

∙ 8y agoThe question mixes up two distinct events.
When the Persians tried to invade Greece in 480-479 BCE, the Greek city-states banded together in the Delian League and effectively stopped the invasion. After they expunged the Persians from their cities, they returned to their individual city-states and remained politically disunited.
Greece would only become united when the Macedonians, led by Philip of Macedon, conquered all of the Greek City-States. His son, Alexander the great, conquered the Persian Empire in 330 B.C.E.
