Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Greeks faced off against the Persians in a narrow strait west of the island of Salamis. The battle lasted for 12 hours, but at the end, the Greeks were victorious. It was likely the Greek army’s smaller, more manoeuvrable boats that gave them the advantage in the narrow waters around Salamis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main elements of Themistocles’ strategy are summarized as follows: All Athenians would go onboard the ships to fight in the sea. The navy would be divided into two fleets. One would remain in Attica to protect Salamis, and the second would engage the enemy at Artemision.
