Best Answer

A combined fleet from the southern Greek city-states defeated the Persian navy comprised of contingents from Phoenicia, Asian-Greek cities and Egypt. The Persian navy retired to Mycale in Asia Minor, which meant thet the Persian army invading Greece could no longer be supplied by sea and half had to be withdrawn to Asia Minor as well, leaving the rest vulnerable to defeat at the land battle of Plataia the following year.
