		First of all there is Salamis, a needless battle in Cawkwell's eyes, fought only because Xerxes thought it appealing to destroy the entire Greek navy.
		This also means that the battle of Salamis, despite its impact on the Greek view of things, in the Persian view was simply a set-back.
		Also Platea, the battle that demonstrated the superiority of the Greek hoplite, was a needless battle.

	The Drama that was The Persian Wars! - Encyclopedia FunTrivia
		Due to the Spartans' serious approach to religion, the Athenian generals were tying themselves in knots over whether to initiate a battle with the Persians in case of medism in the Greek army or whether to wait for the Spartans.
		It could also be suggested that Sparta was aware of the advantages that the terrain of Boetia had for the Persian cavalry, and weren't too eager to throw herself against such odds.
		According to Bury, "The battle was won simply and solely by the discipline and prowess of the Spartan hoplites." (That's Bury's opinion - there were other factors!) The Spartans remained disciplined and in control, hiding behind their shields despite the heavy onslaught of Persian arrows and then charged at Mardonius, managing to kill him.
