The Greek force was there to bloc the Persian advance into southern Greece in order to precipitate a sea battle in the nearby strait of Artemesion in which the Greeks hoped to destroy the Persian navy and remove its threat to the Greek cities. The sea battle went on for three days, and the Greeks lost. The holding force at Thermopylae, no longer required, withdrew. The Spartan and Thespian contingents selflessly remained holding the pass to cover the withdrawal and were all killed.
