Medising

Thessaly joined the Persians out of choice after they realised that Greeks could not defend Thessaly during a battle
Thebes
Thebes was originally forced to join Sparta but quickly abandoned the Greeks after the Battle of Thermopylae --> they counseled Mardonius and helped the Persians
Argos
Argos betrayed the Greek cause because of their rivalry with Sparta as they both wanted to be the strongest city state and have the best army
Unified City States
Athens and Sparta
Athens and Sparta were able to unite in order to win the Persian War and defeat the Persians
Athens and Platea
Platea supplied soldiers to aid the Greeks during the Battle of Marathon
Personal Interests
Corinth
For a period of time Corinth refused to put aside their problems with Athens because of a trade rivalry
Phocis
