Why did Persians lose the battle of salamis?
After the western Greek citiy-states led by Sparta had defeated the Persian navy at Salamis, the Persians could not feed their army during the oncoming winter and had to send half of it home. The remaining half, with 40,000 Greek allies, was therefore now about the same size as the southern Greek alliance of city-states. The difference was that the Persians had strong cavalry but unarmoured infantry. The Persian infantry could not stand up to the Greek armoured infantry and relied on their cavalry to harass the Greeks. So the Greeks selected Plataea as the right place where they could fight over broken ground where the Persian cavalry could not get at them. The result was the defeat of the Persian army.
