The Battle of Salamis was fought in September 480 BC during the Persian Wars (499-449 BC). That's all I know, but I am doing research to see who exactly was the leader defeated in the Battle of Salamis. I actually know Philip of Macedonia was defeated in The Battle of Plataea, not the Battle of Salamis. So now we have A and C...

Answer 4

I dont think athens was beaten at the time of this battle so i think its C but wait for him just to make sure

Answer 5

"In the center, a group of Greek ship managed to push through the Persian lines cutting their fleet in two. The situation for the Persians worsened through the day with the Ionian Greeks being the last to flee. Badly beaten, the Persian fleet retreated towards Phalerum with the Greeks in pursuit. In the retreat, Queen Artemisia of Halicarnassus rammed a friendly ship in an effort to escape. Watching from afar, Xerxes believed that she had sunk a Greek vessel and allegedly commented, "My men have become women, and my women men."

This leads me to think that Xerxes of Persia is the leader that was defeated....I am not sure, though. (v-v) Good luck. c;
