He had the captains of the Phoenician ships in his fleet, who lost their ships early in the battle, beheaded as an example to the others.
Salamis was a strait near Athens where a Greek fleet defeated a Persian fleet in 480 BCE. This the turning point in the Persian invasion of peninsular Greece.
Athens provided the biggest contingent in the Greek fleet. Egypt provided the largest contingent in the Persian fleet.
Athens resisted seige by the superior Peloponnesian land forces as its walls down to its harbour enabled it to import food. From the walled harbour it invaded Peloponnesian cities with its superior navy, according to plan. Athens lost a third of its manpower unexpectedly when a plague struck the overcrowded city. Pericles' steady guidance was lost when he became one of the victims. Athens captured a Spartan contingent and a truce was declared. Athens lost the plot by trying to capture Syracuse in Sicily, which had nothing to do with successful prosecution of the war. Its expeditionary force was totally lost, further weakening its manpower. Persia provided funds for the Peloponnesian League to produce a fleet to match Athens'. They doubled the pay of the fleet, which attracted the best rowers away from Athenian service. The Peloponnesian fleet defeated the Athenian fleet at Aigospotomai, and then invested Athens. They added to the pressure by sending all Athenian prisoners home to eat out the food supply the sooner. Athens was starved into surrender. Athens was stripped of its empire.
Athens was overconfident when it entered the war, imagining the combination of the money it collected from its empire, the strength of its walls, and the dominance of its navy would see it through. The Persians swung the balance, donating money to the Peloponnesian League to buy and man a fleet to match the Athenian one. With it's fleet defeated, its sea food route closed, and city besieged, Athens was starved out.
