Some joined the Persians with their armies. A third of the Persian fleet was from Greek cities in Asia Minor.

The southern cities united their fleets to fight at Artemesion. They then fought together at Salamis, and the following year at Plataia and Mycale.

Then Athens led the Delian league for the next thirty years until a peace was made with Persia.

The Persian invasion, culminating in battles such as Marathon in 490 BCE and Salamis in 480 BCE, aimed to subjugate the Greek city-states, including Athens. The Athenians, however, managed to unite with other Greek forces to repel the Persian advances, ultimately leading to the decline of Persian ambitions in the region. This conflict significantly shaped the future of Athens and its role in Greek history.

Their collaboration exemplified a rare moment of unity among the often-fractious Greek city-states.
