What was the action in the Plataea battle?
A coalition of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army and its Greek allies outside the Greek city of Plataea in 479 BCE. The defending Greek army of armoured foot soldiers kept to the rough ground to negate the Persian cavalry, then engaged and defeated the unarmoured Persian infantry. At the same time a Greek fleet swooped on the remnants of the Persian fleet at Mycale and captured it. This combined action ended the invasion of mainland Greece by the Persian king Xerxes.
Who fought with the Persian Empire against the greek states?
The people of the Persian Empire provided the army and navy of the empire, including Egypt, Phoenicia and the Greek city-states of Ionia within the empire.
