Xerxes I, the Persian king, was ultimately defeated by the Greek forces led by King Leonidas of Sparta at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BCE, though this battle was a valiant stand rather than a decisive defeat. His larger defeat came later that same year at the naval Battle of Salamis, where the Greek fleet, commanded by Themistocles, decisively routed the Persian navy. These defeats marked a significant turning point in the Greco-Persian Wars, leading to the eventual retreat of Xerxes from Greece.
