They adopted a superior strategy of first defeating the Persian navy, and cutting off their sea supply line. The Persians had to send half their army home for the winter, and the Greeks united the city-state armies to defeat the depleted Persian army.

Persia agreed to stay away from Greek city-states in the eastern Aegean littoral.
No. The Spartans defeated about 500,000 Persians along with about 1,700 Greeks. Later on in the war, they withdrew to defend Sparta and lost the war. The Spartans alone did not fight or defeat Persians and Persian allies. Many Greek city states allied and defeated Persians in land and sea battles in two separate wars. The only Greek defeat from the most famous battles in the two separate Persian invasions was in Thermopylae. And even then, few thousand Greeks died, including plus or minus 300 Spartans, while it is believed more than 20,000 Persians and their allies that included many Greeks, died in Thermopylae. So it was an honorable defeat.
Yes the Persians did defeat the 300 Spartans and Greeks, but after, a double spy led the Persians to the wrong straight after destroying Athens. The Greek fleet overwhelemed the Persians, so the Persians retrieted. The Persian bridge that was biult was destroyed and the the Greeks kept part of the bridge as a trophy. With Persia now out of their homeland, the Spartans and Athenians teamed up once more and went to battle with the Persians. The battle of Persia and Sparta/Athens lasted 3 years. The Spartan/Athenian army defeted the Persians!Persia lost against the Spartans/Athenians!
Because most of the records historians have about the Persians were written by Greeks, the history is very skewed (Greeks hated the Persians- they had lots of wars). It's very negatively biased.
Marathon - it was the Athenians.

It was the Athenian and Plataian armies, which defeated the inferior Persian infantry caught without its cavalry support.
In the early stages from 499 BCE when Persia dominated, they were able to use Greek inter-city rivalries and disunity, ease of bribing their leaders, and in the field, the superiority of their cavalry and the fleets, which latter they levied from Phoenecia, Egypt and the Ionian Greeks as well. As the Greeks gained more cohesion and the will to combine for their common defence, they were able to consistently defeat the Persians on sea and land, until Persia agreed to peace in 449 BCE.
The Battle of Marathon was a turning point during the first Persian invasion of Greece. The Persians vastly outnumbered the Greeks on the battlefield, but the Greeks were able to defeat them. The Greeks charged the Persian troops with a thin weaker line, while the Greeks' left and right flanks consisted of stronger troops who quickly surrounded the Persian troops and attacked them on both sides. It was a crushing defeat for the Persians, and the battle convinced the Greeks that while the Persian Empire had vast armies and archers, it was possible to defeat them.
