How does the expression brains over brawn apply to the final Greek victory over Persia at sea?
The Greeks decided to lure the Persian fleet into the closed waters between the island of Salamis and the mainland, where they had to break their battle formation, split to go on either side of the island of Psyttalia, and so were vulnerable to the flank attacks by the Greek fleet lying in wait.
They were also persuaded that the Greeks were going to try to flee through the back passage from the strait, and detached the large Egyptian part of their fleet to cover it, so reducing the numbers of their ships to parity with the Greeks.
They were also persuaded that the Athenian contingent might defect to them, and sat at oars outside the entrance all night, and so were exhausted by the morning of the battle.
In these ways, the odds were swung heavily in favour of the Greeks.
