Athenians versus Persians
Simonides, fragment 18 = Greek Anthology 7.257 (tr. W.R. Paton, commas added):

The sons of the Athenians, utterly destroying the army of the Persians,
repelled sore slavery from their country.
παῖδες Ἀθηναίων Περσῶν στρατὸν ἐξολέσαντες
ἤρκεσαν ἀργαλέην πατρίδι δουλοσύνην.
