I'm sorry
The Battle of the Salamis lasted a day and ended with a triumphant victory for Greece. The battle pitted between 230 and 400 Greek triremes against 600 Persian ships
Themistocles sent a loyal servant to Xerxes’s camp with a message saying that he wanted to change sides and join the Persians.
The Persian Navy's mission was to capture Greek cities around the Aegean Sea.
The battle started because Sparta feared of the increasing power and influence of the Athenian Empire. The Peloponnesian war began after the Persian Wars began in 449 BCE. This disagreement resulted in conflict and eventually outright war. In addition, Athens and its ambitions caused a surge in instability in Greece.
