    The Battle of Plataea in 479 BC was the final land battle between Greek city-states and the Persian Empire of Xerxes I during Greece's second Persian invasion. It followed Xerxes' conquest of Boeotia and Athens in 480 BC and the Greek naval victory over the Persians at Salamis in the same year. The Greek victory at Plataea proved decisive, forcing Xerxes to retreat back to Asia with his surviving forces.
