Plataea was the most important battle for the Greek city states. When Xerxes fled taking a large number of troops with him after the unlikely victory of the Athenians in the battle of Salamis against the mighty Persian navy, immediately the Greek city state alliance marched their soldiers against the general Mardonius and his 300 000 men. The Greeks won and the Greco-Persian war was finally over. Had the Greeks lost then there would be no Greece at all as it would be replaced by the Persian's dominant culture.
