The Battle Of Amos

October, 21, 479 B.C.:
The Battle Of Amos

By: Mir M.Hosseini

Only a year after the battle of Salamis which ended with great damage, the Iranian navy entrapped three rows of Greek battleships in the Cape of Mikail near the Amos Island and destroyed all units while taking some of the Greek officers captive in order to be interrogated on their tactics. This event gave Iranians a relief as a revenge for the Salamis loss.
Unlike the Battle of Salamis, the Battle of Amos has been hardly covered in historical sources.
