What happend in the rest of the war with Sparta and xerxis 1?

Answer 1

I'm assuming other than the battle of Thermopylae, since the movie 300 has brought it to the public attention. Xerxes I launched an attack on Greece and marched down south to Thermopylae, where they destroyed a small delaying force after three days. They then marched on to Athens, which had been evacuated for the island of Salamis. Athens was burnt. The Athenians thenaunched their navy to meet the Persian fleet off the coast off Salamis, where the Persians were crushed. The enormous land force of the Persians met a united Greek front at the battle of Platea, where 10,000 Spartan troops led a group of 30,000 other Greeks to victory, crushing the Persian force and shaming Xerxes when he returned to Persepolis
