The overall Greek strategy was to thwart the Persian advance at the narrow pass of Thermopylae using a Spartan/Thespian/Theban blocking force , while at sea the Athenian Admiral Themistocles was to prevent Persian naval forces from outflanking the Greek land contingent by making an amphibious landing behind the Spartan King Leonidas and the Greeks .
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
