The Battle of Salamis WORLD HISTORY READERS Level 3- ⑦ A Sea Battle Near Thermopylae How was the Battle of Thermopylae related to the Battle of Salamis? When the Persians, from modern-day Iran, invaded Greece, Sparta and some other Greek cities sent soldiers to stop Xerxes at the narrow pass of Thermopylae. The Persians won that battle, and the Greek navy had to pull back from where they were fighting the Persians at sea. The Greek fleet of ships moved to a narrow area of water called the Straits of Salamis. Because it was narrow, it was a good place for a small fleet to fight a big one.
