The Battle of Salamis, fought in 480 BCE during the Greco-Persian Wars, began after the Persian fleet, commanded by King Xerxes, sought to decisively defeat the Greek navy. The Greeks, led by Athenian general Themistocles, lured the larger Persian fleet into the narrow straits of Salamis, where their superior maneuverability could be leveraged. As the battle commenced, the Greek ships, organized and coordinated, launched an effective counterattack, managing to encircle and destroy many Persian vessels. Ultimately, the Greeks achieved a significant victory, which marked a turning point in the war against Persia.
