Answer 1

they surprised the Persians by crossing the Aegean sea to attack

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greeks crushed the weaker Persian foot soldiers by routing the wings before turning towards the center of the Persian line. The remnants of the Persian army fled to their ships and left the battle. Herodotus records that 6,400 Persian bodies were counted on the battlefield; the Athenians lost only 192 men.
