Years: 479BCE - 479BCE
Xanthippus, in 479 BCE, commands the Athenian force at Mycale on the Asiatic coast, where the residue of the Persian navy is to engage the Greek fleet, commanded by Spartan co-king Leotychidas.
The Persian navy instead beaches its ships and, joining a land army, fights a losing battle against a Spartan force led by Leotychidas.
This victory prepares the way for the liberation of the Greeks of western Asia Minor from Persian rule.
