The spartans put up a long fight which was 300 spartans against thousands of persians and by the time saved from them the athenians escapeed to fight the persians off of Greece.  The Persians eventually lost to Greece because of the Athenians defense in the street of Sicily which stopped their trade with their own people inside of Greece which cut them off we can get supplies to continue the war.
