This would also remove the protection of the Persian supply fleet which would place the Persian army in danger of starvation in such a poor countryside as Greece.Plan: Block the pass at Thermopylai which would force the Persians to try to turn it by sea in order to continue south; engage the Persian fleet in the narrow waters in the nearby strait at Artemesion where the advantage of the more numerous and heavier Persian ships would be neutralised.
