- thermopylae: the greeks were betrayed by a traitor who showed persians a secret mountain pass which allowed persians to attacks greeks and spartans from the rear and killed a lot of them, so the greeks like dipped and left the 300 spartans led by king leonidas alone and they fought to the death which delayed persians from reaching mainland greece and allowed athens to evacuate in time
- artemisium was fought with the persian fleet contingent that was supposed to go to thermopylae, the persian ships kept getting obliterated in coastal storms whereas the greeks were local to the weather conditions and knew how to ride them out, but then news of greek defeat in thermopylae reached them and the greeks retreated
