After the rout, the Greeks, led by Xanthippus and Leotychidas, went back to the beach and set fire to the Persian ships effectively destroying the Persian fleet. Herodotus claims this battle occurred on the same day as the Battle of Plataea, where Aristides led the Athenian contingent under the command of the Spartan Pausanias, and defeated the Persian land-forces.
Following their triumph, Xanthippus and Leotychidas led the Greeks back to the shore, where they destroyed the Persian ships, eliminating the Persian naval force. Herodotus notes that this battle coincided with the Battle of Plataea, in which Aristides commanded the Athenian forces under Pausanias' leadership, resulting in a decisive victory over the Persian army.
