- We have to stay strong!
- Give them all you've got! We cannot let them pass or else they will be able to reach our city borders!
- Greeks had inhabited Ionia until 546 B.C. when the Persian Empire took over. The Ionian Greeks revolted and Athens helped by sending ships and soldiers. The Persian King, Darius the Great, defeated the rebels and vowed to destroy the Athenians for assisting his oppenents. This was the start of the Persian War.
- Salamis
- SIR! We can't turn. We're trapped. They're going to sink us!
- King Darius the Great tried to get his revenge on Athens in 490 B.C. by sending his Persian fleet wtih 25,000 men across the Aegan sea to attack the city-state. The Athenians only had 10,000 men to defend themselves but even though they were greatly outnumbered, because the Persians wore light armour and were not trained in the phalanxes formation which the Athenians used, Athens won the battle.
- The End!
- The son of Darius the Great, Xerxes, wanted to continue battling the Greeks, so he and an invasion force started their way to Athens in 480 B.C. They came to a narrow mountain pass at Thermopylae that they needed to go through but 7,000 Greeks blocked the path. Xerxes thought it would be an easy defeat but the Greeks held them off for three days until a traitor told the Persians of a secret path. All 300 Spartans stayed behind to hold the Persian forces back as all the other Greeks retreated to come up with another plan.
- Come on men, they will be easy to crush. How good could they really be?
- Themistocles, an Athenian leader, came up with a new plan to evacuate the city and fight at sea. The Athenians then positioned their fleet in a narrow channel near the island Salamis. After setting the city aflame, Xerxes and his ships entered the channel but had difficulty turning because their ships were so big. The Greek vessels were small enough to move freely and had battering rams used to puntrued the hulls of the Persian ships. The Athenians were able to get rid of 1/3 of Xerxes fleet.
- This is just as we planned. They can't escape us now.
