Addition:

Marathon was the Athenian victory in the First Persian War. In the Second Persian War, the Athenian fleet defeated the Persian Navy at Salamis, and destroyed what remained of it at Mycale.

Comment:

Athens did not defeat the Persian navy at Salamis. The victory at Salamis was achieved by a coalition of 21 Greek city-states which was led by Sparta and included a major Athenian component.

Athens could claim the victory at Marathon as it commanded the 10,000 soldiers and provided 9,000 of them (Plataia provided 1,000).
