Themistocles was able to defeat the Persians at the sea battle of Salamis and the Greeks were able to withstand the Persian infantry assaults only to be outflanked on the land because the traitor Ephialtes had shown the Persians a way of outflanking the Greeks by showing the Persians a way around the pass of Thermopylae .h

In ancient Greece why did Athenian and Spartan women shave their heads before marriage Was their some special meaning behind it?
For starters, they began the big day by shaving their heads. Second, they donned men's clothes and sandals. Then, instead of participating in a ridiculously expensive ceremony with family and friends, prospective brides laid alone in the dark on a pallet, waiting for their grooms to come and steal them away in the night. Once a groom had his way with his new bride, he deposited her shaved, man-clothed self back at her parent's home. She wouldn't see him again until the next night, or the night after that. Sometimes, years could go by before these married lovebirds actually saw each other in the daytime. According to some historians, to help ease the Spartan groom into heterosexuality.The problem was that when the time came to do their duty to their species, Spartan men didn't even know where to stick their bits. So to facilitate the soldier's transition from gay love to straight love, brides shaved away their femininity and threw on some man clothes.As for the sneaking around stuff, Spartan men were required to live in military barracks until the age of 30, but the average age of marriage for men was 25. So most couples married, did the hanky-panky in the woods or whatever, made some babies, and didn't even live in the same household for the first few years of their marriages.
