The Battle of Salamis, fought in 480 BC, was a decisive naval clash between the Greek city-states and the Persian Empire during the Greco-Persian Wars. In this episode, we explore how clever strategy, geography, and disciplined crews allowed a smaller Greek fleet to destroy a vastly larger Persian navy, saving Greece from conquest and changing the course of Western history.
