The Persian fleet was not concentrated or with free manoeuvre room. It sent a major force at the passage north west of the island to prevent a Greek escape, which was not engaged in the battle and depleted the Persian naval force. In order to engage the Greek fleet, the remaining Persian ships were split in two going around each side of the island of Psyttalia, and to get through the passages they were in column rather on a broad fighting front. This enabled the Greek ships to attack them from the flanks with ramming tactics. The Persians, with larger ships, relied on closing with the enemy, using missiles and boarding. The Greeks with smaller, more agile ships, relied on ramming. The Sal;amis scenario which developed favoured the Greek tactics.

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.

Who won at salamis and why were they so successful?
The Battle of Salamis took place between the combined Greek Navy led by Thermistocles and The Persian Navy of Xerxes I in September 480 BC. It took place in the strait between Piraeus and Salamis Island. Although heavily outnumbered, the Greek Fleet defeated the Persians whose large fleet was unable to maneuver in the narrow strait. The Greek triremes on the left flank managed to break their opposition and threaten the enemy centre which could not withdraw because of a strong contrary wind and the fact that the strait was packed with Persian ships. The Persian admiral, Ariamenes, was killed in the fighting, disrupting the chain of command and adding to the confusion. The loss of many ships and the lack of naval dominance meant that the Persians were no longer able to maintain supply lines to their huge land army and were forced to withdraw. the Greek states that had been conquered by the Persians were later freed when the Persians were also defeated at the Battles of Platea and Mycale..
