Kithairon, the Greeks crushed the Persians, killed Mardonius, and watched the survivors scatter to the north. Themistocles apparently did not take part in the landbattle, but was still at sea pursuing enemy vessels along the coast of Asia Minor – or, more likely, had suffered some sort of falling out with the Greek high command tired of his constant boasting. After the storm and losses at Artemisium and the subsequent naval defeat at Salamis, Xerxes may have lost over 900 triremes.
