Why did Greece pick thermmopylae to defend against the Persians?
By obstructing the pass, the Persian army's advance into southern Greece was delayed. As the Persian fleet threatened the Greek cities and the cities kept their armies at home guarding against an amphibious attack on them, the Greeks plan was to provoke a sea battle to destroy the Persian fleet. The idea was that holding the pass would force the Persians to try to outflank the position by sea, and the Greek fleet would pounce. Unfortunately for the Greeks the sea battle went against them, so holding the pass was to no avail. The troops holding the pass were therefore withdrawn. The Spartan contingent selflessly continued to hold to let the other city contingents escape.
How did Themistocles get the Persians to attack their ships?
Themistocles sent the Persians misleading information, even pretending he was willing to switch sides. He told them the Greek fleet would try to escape through the rear passage from Salamis, causing the Persians to send a third of their fleet around to cover it. He also said that the fleet might try to get out through the eastern passage, so the Persians ships sat at their oars during the night waiting in the rough swell, and were exhausted when they attacked the following morning.. The Persians thought they had the Greeks trapped, and split their remaining fleet to go through the two passages towards Salamis, and going through the passages, went in line ahead. With the numbers of ships evened up, he waiting Greeks attacked the two strung-out lines from the flanks in the strait and defeated them.
