He secretly told Xerxes that the Greeks were going to retreat from Salamis through the western channel, leading to a third of the Persian fleet being sent off to cover that exist, and so not available for the battle and evening up the fleets. He also said he would switch sides which encouraged Xerxes to send his fleet into the eastern straits where the Greek fleet was waiting to pounce from the flanks on the Persian ships strung out entering the two channels.
