Points agreed at the conference

In this hour of desperation, old rivalries ceased. Quickly the Hellenic states agreed points that they hoped would give them a fighting chance against the Persian offensive

1. Sparta is to be given high command: "the Athenians waived their claim in the interest of national survival"
2. All feuds and disputes would end. This put an end to the thirty-year hostility of Athens and Aegina, and combined their large navies
3. Spies would be sent to Asia to gather intelligence on the strength of Xerxes' forces and to report on his invasion preparations
4. Envoys would be appointed to negotiate with other Greek states in the hope of uniting, if possible, the whole Greek world and of bringing all of the various communities to "undertake joint action in the face of common danger"
5. States which voluntarily submitted to Persia were to be tithed or fined. Individual medizers were to face trial
