This painting shows the Greek Phalanx going against the Persian foot soldiers and the phalanx is stronger because of the metal shields and long spears used to keep the Persians at
medium-range.
The Battle of Plataea was the end of the Persian advancements and the remaining army in Greece was slaughtered and General Mardonius was killed in battle after Xerxes left him in charge.
