Fought on the Ionian coast on (traditionally) the same day as Plataea, the Greek fleet and landing force destroyed the beached Persian fleet and army at Mycale. The victory triggered a renewed revolt of the Ionian Greek cities against Persia and shifted the Greco-Persian Wars onto the Greek offensive.
