The Greeks lured them into two narrow straits which split them into two columns, allowing the Greek city fleets to attack them with rams from the flanks; the Greek ships were smaller and more manoeuvrable, and so had the advantage. They had also cunningly diverted a third of the Persian fleet to be sent to guard a back strait to Salamis, and so were not able to join in the battle, evening up the numbers on either side, and had pretended they were going to escape which kept the Persian crews sitting at their oars all night in a heavy swell to prevent this, and so they were exhausted the day of the battle.
