Years: 459BCE - 459BCE
The rebel army had confronted the Persian army of around four hundred thousand infantry and eighty ships led by the brother of Artaxerxes, the satrap Achaemenes, who, together with one hundred thousand of his four hundred thousand men, is defeated and killed at Pampremis.
The Persians retreat to Memphis.
The commanders of the Athenian fleet, Charitimides and Cimon, fight a naval battle with the Persians, in which forty Greek ships engage fifty Persians ships, of which twenty are captured with their crews, and the remaining thirty sunk.
To show that their victory is complete, the rebels send the dead body of satrap Achaemenes to the Persian king.
