The first Persian expedition to mainland Greece in 490 BCE was defeated o land at Marathon. The fleet was not engaged as there was no naval force deployed against it, and evacuated the survivors of the land battle.
Athens did not have a viable navy until several years later, when a rich silver strike was used to build a strong navy which provided the backbone of the combined Greek cities' navy which defeated the Persian fleet at Salamis during the second Persian invasion in 480 BCE.
