The Greeks were operating in 'internal lines', that is they were able to get their soldiers, weapons and food from local sources. The Persians had to bring theirs from Asia, and after their fleet was defeated at Salamis, had to send half their army home as they could not support them. With evened numbers, the superiority of the Greek armoured infantry was telling over the unarmoured Persian infantry, and they negated the Persian cavalry advantage by fighting on rough ground.
