The Greeks avenged the destruction of Athens during the Persian Wars by defeating the Persian forces at the pivotal Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE and later at the Battle of Plataea in 479 BCE. These victories not only marked a turning point in the war but also helped to secure Greek independence from Persian domination. The establishment of the Delian League further solidified their collective resistance against Persia, leading to continued military actions that ultimately weakened Persian influence in the region.
