At Salamis the Athenian fleet defeated the Persian fleet. Xerxes lost heart and returned to PersIa but left a very large army in Greece under Mardonius. Mardonius and his army were subsequently destroyed by a confederated Greek army at Platea, a battle in which the Spartans did most of the heavy lifting.

Everybody used to know this stuff, high school history 50 years ago.

that's it. We heard it in HS history, then promptly forgot it after the test. And that was back in the 60's.

I knew there was a huge naval battle, just forgot the details that go with.
