It was a sea battle.
On one side was a Greek fleet from an alliance of Greek city-states led by Sparta -
Athens 180, Corinth 40, Aegina 30, Chalcis 20, Megara 20, Sparta 16, Sicyon 15, Epidaurus 10, Eretria 7, Ambracia 7, Troizen 5, Naxos 4, Leucas 3, Hermione 3, Styra 2, Cythnus 2, Ceos 2, Melos 2, Siphnus 1, Seriphus 1, Croton 1.
On the other was a mixed fleet from Persian provinces - including Greeks, Phoenicians, Egyptians etc. The figures given below for these are vastly exaggerated, as these are the nominal fleets, not the ones actually there, including losses in previous actions. Halving them is appropriate, and then subtracting the Egypitan component as it was guarding against a Greek escape through the western channel. This give a total of about 400, nearly the same as the Greek fleet.
Phoenicia 300, Egypt 200, Cyprus 150, Cilicia 100, Ionia 100, Hellespont 100, Caria 70, Aeolia 60, Lycia 50, Pamphylia 30, Dorian 30, Cyclades 17
