In the battle of salamis why did Athenians sail to nearby islands in a panic?

During the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC, the Athenians faced the overwhelming naval forces of the Persian Empire. As the Persian army advanced, many Athenians feared for their safety and the impending destruction of their city. In a state of panic, they sought refuge on nearby islands, particularly Salamis, believing it would provide a safer haven from the advancing enemy. This flight was driven by desperation and the need to protect themselves and their families amidst the chaos of war.


What is Poseidon anecdote about the deity?

Poseidon and Athena (the goddess of war) were competing with one another for the ownership/control of Athens. Both of these powerful gods strived to win control of this land. To win over the Athenians, Poseidon threw his spear at the ground and produced the spring at the Acropolis. Poseidon was sure that providing the Athenians with this spring would win them over. Poseidon's donation to the Athenians was good, but Athena's was better. She won over the Athenians and reigned victorious after her ingenious contribution of the olive tree. Poseidon was so angry at his loss that he flooded the Attic Plain. Eventually, the two gods came over their differences and worked together to combine their powers for the greater good. For example, Athena built the first ship which was used to sail upon the sea belonging to Poseidon.
