Battles at Plataea and Mycale: The Fall of Persia in Greece

The Persian Empire should have won.

They had the numbers.
They had the fleet.
They had already pushed deep into Greece.

But step by step… everything began to collapse.

At Plataea, the Persian army lost its ability to continue the invasion on land.

At Mycale, their remaining power across the Aegean was destroyed.

What began as one of the largest invasions of the ancient world ended in a complete reversal.

This is the moment the war changed.

Not in a single battle…
but in the collapse of an entire campaign.
