What was the main conflict between the Persians and Greeks the Greeks had land that the Persians wanted the Persians had land that the Greeks wanted the Greeks believed in freedom and self-gove?
The Persians wanted peace and prosperity in their empire. It included the Greek cities of Asia Minor, who were restive and were stirred up and supported by Greek cities of mainland Greece. The Persians concluded that the only way to get peace was to incorporate the mainland Greek cities in their empire and appoint Greek tyrants to each city to keep them quiet. Some of the cities joined the Persians, the southern city-states resisted, putting aside temporarily their usual fighting between themselves and spent 50 years warding off the Persian Empire. The Persians became tired of this and agreed to stay out of Greece, and left the Greek cities to go back to their usual fighting amongst each other. Athens kept hold of the Greek cities which had supported them in the defence against the Persian Empire and converted them into an empire of its own.

How many Persians died from the 300 Greeks?
My guess is that you're talking about the Battle of Thermopylae. The Persians lost about 20,000 men, but there weren't "300 Greeks" ... there were 300 Spartans, in a mixed force totaling around 7,000 Greeks in all. They managed to hold off the Persian army for around a week, including two days of actual fighting.When the (much larger) Persian army found a way around the narrow pass to outflank the Greeks, the Spartan general Leonidas and a force of about 300 Spartans (and around 1200 other Greeks from various cities) remained to hold off the Persians while the bulk of the Greek force escaped to warn the cities of Greece that the Persians had taken the pass and were on their way. This rear guard was essentially annihilated on the third day of fighting. All told, the Greeks lost between 2,000 and 4,000 men in the battle.
Why did the Greeks retreat before the 3rd day of the battle of Thermopyle?
The Greeks, particularly the Spartans, retreated before the third day of the Battle of Thermopylae due to the betrayal by a local Greek named Ephialtes, who revealed a hidden path to the Persians. This allowed the Persian forces to outflank the Greek position, effectively surrounding them. Realizing that they could no longer hold their position against the overwhelming Persian numbers, the Greeks decided to retreat to preserve their strength, while a small contingent, including King Leonidas and his Spartans, chose to remain and fight to the end.
