The conflict between Persia and Athens culminated in several key battles during the Greco-Persian Wars, with Athens emerging victorious at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE. This victory was significant in boosting Athenian morale and influence. Later, during the Persian invasion led by Xerxes, the Athenians again triumphed at the naval Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE, further solidifying their dominance over Persia. Ultimately, these victories marked a turning point in the wars, leading to the decline of Persian power in the region.

This changed over the centuries. Sparta was ruled by two kings, a council. and an assembly Athens was ruled first by a king, then an aristocracy, then by a tyrant, then by an assembly of the people. Persia was ruled by a king and his council.
Idk that’s why I came on here
Persia
Athens and Persia were two distinct civilizations in the ancient world, differing significantly in political structure and culture. Athens was a city-state in Greece known for its early form of democracy, where citizens participated directly in decision-making. In contrast, Persia, an empire that spanned much of the Near East, was characterized by a centralized autocratic rule under kings like Cyrus and Darius, who implemented a bureaucratic administration across diverse territories. Additionally, while Athens emphasized philosophy, arts, and individualism, Persia was known for its vast infrastructure and cultural diversity, promoting a more collective identity among its subjects.

Persia had a king. Athens had a direct democracy.
Athens would have been returned to having a Tyrant installed by Persia. No doubt they would have expelled him again and Athens would have continued on its road to eventual democracy, just a bit delayed.
persia prevented Sparta and Athens from uniting.

Athens long ago, then they made peace saying both, but Athens had more controll still, they became allies, and then they had war with Persia, that's all I know, but theres probably so much more! Spartans were considered both greek and roman! After the war with Persia, Athens and its states had a war with Sparta again, or the only time, and Sparta actually did team up with Persia, Spartans won the war, granting Athens some freedom, but not all.
Persia
The war against Persia. It united all of Greece, including Athens and Sparta.
Xerxes was king of Persia and battled against Sparta and Athens. etc
Technically Neither. after the last stand of the 300 Spartans at the battle of Thermopylae Greece was taken over by Macedon and for the first time in their long history the Greeks were united and (who you might have heard of) Alexander the Great took the throne and conquered all of Persia and northern Egypt. but to answer your question Athens for that was were Alexander ruled from.
