Was an unsuccesful military campaign waged by Achaemenid King Xerxes I that sought to conquer all of Greece.

• June 480 BC: Having crossed into Europe in April 480 BC, the Persian army began its march to Greece.
• September 479 BC: The Battle of Plataea was the final land battle between the Achaemenid Empire and the Greek Poleis during the second Persian invasion of Greece. The Persian infantry proved no match for the heavily armoured Greek hoplites, and the Spartans broke through to General Mardonius's bodyguard and killed him. The Persian force thus dissolved and 40,000 troops managed to escape to Thessaly. The Persians also left territories occupied in Anthemous.
