How did the battle of Thermopylae affect smaller countries?
The Greek city-states which did not go over to the Persian side had tried to win a sea battle against the Persian fleet to remove the naval threat to their cities. Blocking the pass at Thermopylae was a ploy to force the sea battle at nearby Artemesium. The sea battle was lost so they had to try again at Salamis. Until this sea threat was removed, the city-states had to keep their main armies at home protecting their cities against amphibious attack. So Thermopylae failed in its purpose. Salamis succeeded, and the following year the cities sent out their armies to join up at Plataea where they defeated the Persian army and its Greek allies, and the invasion was over.

At the Battle of Salamis, the Greek ships were built specifically for fighting at sea, whereas the Persian ships were not, and also the Greeks were much better sailors.

What were the Greecks able to use to win the battle of salamis?
They used clever strategy and tactics. The Greeks gave out the idea that they were going to flee from Salamis, and so the Persians sent a third of their fleet around to cover the rear channel. This evened up the two adversaries actually present at the battle. The Greeks also stayed in the strait at Salamis. The Persians, thinking the Greeks would try to escape in either direction, sat all night at their oars in a heavy sea swell to block any exit, and so were exhausted by the morning of the battle. They then had to enter the bay by splitting their fleet into two to go around each side of the island of Psyttaleia and so were on these two narrow fronts rather than is proper battle formation. This allowed the Greeks to strike them from the flanks before they could reform. And this was particularly decisive as the lighter Greek ships relied on ramming the sides of the Persian ships which preferred to close with an enemy ship and fight it side on. They were able to drive into the sides of the extended lines of Persian ships.
