Witness the clash that changed history! How did Greece defy the odds against Persia?

480 BCE — The Empire of Persia stood like a tidal wave, ready to drown all of Greece.

Led by the mighty Xerxes, the Persian navy—over 1,000 ships strong—seemed unstoppable. The city of Athens lay in ruins. Despair echoed through the mountains and coasts of Greece. But from the smoke rose a leader: Themistocles, the Athenian strategist who would outsmart an empire.

Welcome to the Battle of Salamis, where strategy clashed with brute force.

Themistocles lured Xerxes into the narrow straits of Salamis. The Persians believed it would be a slaughter. But geography, timing, and cunning favored the Greeks. In the tight waters, the massive Persian fleet couldn’t maneuver. Greek triremes smashed into enemy hulls. Chaos erupted. Ships burned. Warriors drowned.

This wasn’t just a battle. It was a resurrection.

It marked the beginning of the end for Persian dominance in Greece. It saved Athens. It preserved the fragile ideals of freedom, democracy, and unity that Greece had just begun to plant.
