False.

Yes/No questions are bad ones as you often don't learn anything from them, and they often give you the wrong result. Tell your teacher that. The real answer is:

Whilst the Salamis battle was pivotal in ending Persian dominance in Greece, it took two more battles the following year to destroy the Persian forces - Platia and Mykale. Unless they had won those battles, the Greeks would have lost overall.

What was the greek plan of battle at the battle of salamis?

1. Splitting the superior Persian fleet - sending false information to the Persian commander that they would seek to escape from the strait at Salamis through the exit to the west past Mxxxx. This caused the Persians to send a third of his fleet around to block this, and the odds in the battle were evened. 2. Also suggesting to the Persian commander that the Athenian contingent might defect. This kept the Persian fleet at sea at the oars all night and they were exhusted when they attacked the following morning. 3. The Greek fleet remained in the strait near Salamis, which meant the Persian fleet had to split and enter the bay of Salamis around both sides of the island of Psyttalia in two lines and were strung out, allowing the waiting Greek ships to attack the flanks of the lines. 4. With the fight in the narrow waters of the bay, the heavier Persian ships were vulnerable to the lighter more manoeuverable Greek ships using their rams to sink them. A well thought out plan, which succeeded. The Greeks had learnt from their previous failed attempt at Artemesion next to Thermopylai.


One immediate outcome of the Battle of Thermopylae was that Athens and Sparta finally united true or false?

Sparta and Athens had been allies for some time. Sparta helped Athens in its struggle for democracy in late 507 BCE, and had also sent its army to help Athens at Marathon in 490 BCE 10 years earlier but had arrived too late for that battle. Athens was not present at Thermopylae, its forces were committed to manning its navy at the simultaneous battle of Artemesium. So the answer is False - Athens and Sparta were allies long before joining other southern Greek cities which united to repel the Persian invasion, and remained allies until 460 BCE when they had a falling out.

In 480 BCE the Greeks defeated the Persian fleet at Salamis because?

1. The Athenian Themistocles sent a false message to the commander of the Persian fleet that the Greeks were going to escape through the western passage of the strait, so the Persian sent one third of his fleet (the Egyptian component) to seal off the exit. This reduced the odds down to nearly equal.2. The Persians attacked in two columns on each side of the island of Psyttalia, dividing their strength yet again.3. To get through these passages, they had to do so on a narrow front, and their flanks were open to attack by the Greek fleet formed up just inside the bay.4. The Greek ships were smaller and more manoeuverable, and their ramming tactics broke up the Persian columns.
