The Persians were at a disadvantage at the battle of Salamis primarily due to their large fleet being cramped in the narrow straits, which restricted their movements and made it difficult for them to effectively utilize their numerical superiority. Additionally, the Persians lacked knowledge of the local waters and their ships were not as maneuverable as the Greek triremes, giving the Greeks an advantage in close combat. Finally, the Greek navy was able to exploit the disunity within the Persian fleet, leading to confusion and loss of coordination among the Persian ships.
