The Greek army had retreated all the way to Corinth and their fleet was in limbo with the Athenian refugees on Salamis. After some deliberation, Xerxes sent his navy to clear out the Greek ships only for the land and sea themselves to turn against the Great King.

[Ex] Creation by Gore Vidal - Swords Sorcery & Socialism Crossover Part 1
