The following statements accurately describe the Persian Wars:

1. **Persia attacked Greece after Athens supported a rebellion by Greek colonists.**
2. **The end of the wars brought a golden age to Athens.**
3. **The Greek city-states were unable to unite against Xerxes' armies.** (Though it is worth noting that some city-states did unite, especially during key battles.)
4. **Athens decisively defeated the Persians at the Battle of Marathon.**

The statement "The Persian armies defeated the Greeks at Salamis" is incorrect; in fact, the Greek forces, particularly the Athenian navy, won a decisive victory at the Battle of Salamis.
