Alexander the Great defeated the Persian empire
The Athenians sent a expeditionary force to Ionia in 498 BCE to help them and burnt the Persian provincial capital of Sardis in the process. This focussed Persian attention on Athens, and an expeditionary force was sent in 490 BCE to bring it under Persian control. Athens defeated this force Marathon. Persia then decided to bring all the Greek cites under control and invaded in force in 480 BCE with Athens a prime target. As there was no hope of avoiding defeat on land, Athens abandoned the city, sent its population to seek refuge in other cities and embarked its army to fight at sea as the core of the naval force of the Greek alliance. The Persian navy threatened the Greek cities, so each city kept its army at home defending the walls. The Greek fleet won at Salamis, and Athens the following year sent its army to join the Greek alliance at Plataia where the combined forces defeated the Persian army.
