Battle of Salamis:
Time: The month of September in 480 B.C.
Battle: The 3rd battle of the Persian Wars that was fought between Persia and Greece.
Place: Salamis Island.
Leaders: Persia - Xerxes; Greece - Themistocles
Plan: Persia- Watched the battle from a very high hill, Xerxes was presumptuous
about the battle, yet things didn't go his way. Greece- The Athenian navy tricked the Persian navy when the Athenians sent a spy over to the Persians and told them to attack from the sea. The trick worked when the Persians got ambushed by Athens navy and got slaughtered. In the end Themistocles and his army won the battle, and King Xerxes was awe-shock.
Battle of Salamis- Greece = Winner!
