The Athenian navy was relatively nonexistent until slightly before the Second Persian Invasion, and it was developed to safeguard Ancient Greece from the Persians. ... This is especially true since the Greeks won at the Battle of Salamis, and this is said to have been an important victory in that war.

This rise occurred largely due to its prominent location and control of key trading routes and leadership in the wars against Persia. While other Greek cities held more powerful armies, such as Sparta, Athens' leadership proved attractive and helped pave the way for its influence.
