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.

Who was the battle of marathon agenst?

It was Athens against Persia. Athens helped Miletus (another city-state) in a battle against Persia. Athenians didn't actually fight, they just helped Miletus by giving them ships and weapons. Miletus lost against Persia and when Persia discovered that Athens had helped Miletus they wanted the Athenians killed. Thus the battle of Marathon began.
