The Battle of Plataea in 479 BCE is one of world history's unjustly neglected events.
It decisively ended the threat of a Persian conquest of Greece. It involved tens of
thousands of combatants, including the largest number of Greeks ever brought together
in a common cause. For the Spartans, the driving force behind the Greek victory, the
battle was sweet vengeance for their defeat at Thermopylae the year before
