While Xerxes, the Persian King of Kings was trying to conquer Greece, in the west the Carthaginians were in a war with the Sicilian Greeks over the control of Sicily.
We all know the Greeks defeated Xerxes in the naval battle at Salamis.
But according to Herodotos, at the same day a naval battle between the Carthaginians and the Sicilian Greeks was fought at Himera. Here too, the Greeks were victorious. Under the command of Gelon, the tyrant of Syracuse, the Carthaginians were soundly beaten.
