jul 23, 499 BC - Battle of Salamis
Description:
Athens had a plan. They would evacuate their city and move to Salamis. They would make they Persians think they finally won. So they sent a fake traitor (from the Greek side) to tell where the Greek Navy was hiding. The Persians believe the fake traitor and go to attack. But when they arrive, the Greek Navy had been very prepared, and they smashed the Persian Navy. The Greeks pulled out another win.Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Salamis
