Persia was an empire, with unified leadership, with great resources, stretching from Libya to Central Asia. It had enlisted some of the northern Greek city-states on its side, and already controlled the Greek cities of Asia Minor. It's navy was comprised mainly of Phoenician, Greek and Egyptian ships..

Greece did not exist as an entity - it comprised over 2,000 independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. These cities made changing alliances according to condition at any tome. Only a few dozen united against the Persian invasion.
