Athens was not involved in the delaying action at Thermopylae Pass. Its manpower was fully occupied manning its fleet as part of the southern Greek fleet at the battle of Artemisia Holding the Pass at Thermopylae was designed to force the Persians to try to outflank the bottleneck by sea, and the Greek fleet was waiting to pounce. The Greeks lost the sea battle and the Thermopylae force, its mission no longer relevant, was withdrawn.
This exposed Athens to the advancing Persian army. They evacuated the city and it was occupied by the Persians. So Athens was not helped by Thermopylae.
It did not. Athens was occupied by the Persians, its people evacuated and given refuge in southern Greek cities and its forces were embarked on its fleet to help defeat the Persians at sea.
The Greeks lost in the battle of the hot gates, but the 300 held the place for the rest of the army and navy to win now that the 3 days that were forbidden to fight were over.
It did not. Athens was occupied by the Persians, its people evacuated and given refuge in southern Greek cities and its forces were embarked on its fleet to help defeat the Persians at sea.
It didn't help them as it failed in its purpose. Athens had been evacuated, and the Persians looted and burned the city in reparation for the Athenians having been involved in the burning of the Persian provincial capital of Sardis nearly 20 years earlier.
Athens is so dumb
because of where and how Thermopylae was built there was only one way for the Persians to come in, the front. Plus the Spartans attack method phalanx was very good on frontward attacks Thermopylae was the perfect place for the Spartans to fight even though they lost.

Athens, even though by evidence it seems like an oligarchy it is known as the first democracy.
Slavery played a huge role in ancient Athens. Slaves did most jobs, from working in the fields to building and mining. Slaves even made up most of Athens' police force. Slaves were not generally mistreated though, and even had some rights by law.

Because if the Spartans did not hold them off ( temporarily ), the Persians would have marched right on into Greece and would have defeated them entirely. Thus ending Democracy as we know it today. The time that was bought by the Spartans was used for the rest of Sparta and other Greek City States, namely Athens (Navy) to get their acts together and prepare for and all out battle or death. We'd probably be foreign slaves right now, or better yet, North America may still not even be found for all we know. Anyway in the time of the battle of Thermopylae (480 BC), the Greeks did indeed get their acts together and the combined ships of the Navy's handed the Persian navy a crushing defeat in The Battle of Salamis. The last battle of the war was back on land, The Battle of Plataea. This time the Spartans had their army ready to battle along with Athens, Corinth, Magara and many, many other Greek City States. Persia was beaten badly and thus ending their attempt to enslave all of Greece. This brought on the forming of The Delian League in 478 BC where around 150 Greek City States united together to stop future Persian attacks.
