The Persian Empire, under the leadership of King Xerxes I, invaded Greece and commanded their army during the battle of Salamis in 480 BCE. This naval battle was a crucial conflict in the Greco-Persian Wars, where the Greek city-states, united under the leadership of figures like Themistocles, ultimately defeated the larger Persian fleet. The victory at Salamis significantly weakened Xerxes' forces and marked a turning point in the war.
