The Battle of Salamis (450 B.C.) was the first great naval battle recorded in history.

In a battle that seems almost more mythological than real, a fleet of Greek warships under the venerable Greek commander Eurybiades, took on a Persian fleet at least twice its size (and some ancient sources claim three times as large) in the narrow straights between the Greek mainland and the island of Salamis and beat it soundly. Losing as much as half its fleet the battle so badly devastated the Persians that the Persian king, Xerxes, was forced to give up on his quest to invade Greece. What made the battle the most important one in history was that in forcing the Persians to give up their quest of invading Greece, the battle potentially saved Greek culture and, by extension, western civilization in the process.This cache is at the posted coordinates.
