The Battle of Salamis (480 BC) was the naval clash that saved Greek civilization and preserved democracy for the world. Watch how Themistocles' brilliant deception lured Xerxes' massive Persian fleet into a devastating trap that changed the course of Western history.

After Athens burned and Sparta's 300 fell at Thermopylae, only the narrow straits of Salamis stood between Persia and total victory. But Themistocles had a plan that would turn Persian strength into weakness through one of history's greatest strategic deceptions.
