Best Answer

Xerxes didn't cricify Leonidas. After he was killed in battle he had his head impaled on a pike. There is no record of any outcome of this act. Xerxes lost his war because of defeat in the sea battle of Salamis which had nothing to do with Leonidas.

Have they found the dead bodies of the 300 Spartans?

The site of the battle of Thermopylae was identified by archaelogists finding millions of arrowheads. As to the bodies of the Spartans, these with the exception of Leonidas (as he was taken by Xerxes and mutilated) where found and identified (by the use of the invention of dog-tags (a wooden twig with the soldier's name scratched onto it, strapped onto their arms)) and buried in a mound, resting place at Thermopylae with the inscription: 'Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws, we lie.' Leonidas' body was later returned and he was buried at Sparta.

What is the summary of 300?

Plot Summary of300:300 tells the story of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. Persians under the rule of King Xerxes have already taken over some of the Hellenic city-states, and now threaten Sparta and Athens. King Leonidas of Sparta is left with two options: he will either have to sacrifice himself for the well-being of Sparta or watch it burn to the ground. Choosing the former, Leonidas forms an army of 300 Spartan warriors to block the narrow passage of Thermopylae where Xerxes intends to reach Hellas. The 300 are accompanied by about 700 Thespians who protect the flanks of the passage, and combined, the forces manage to slay tens of thousands of Persians and prevent their entry into Hellas for several days. However, Ephialtes, a reject of the Spartan Army gets his revenge by showing Xerxes a secret goat passage up the flanks of the passage. The story depicts the epic last stand of the finest Spartan soldiers who are aware of their fate, but motivated by "honor and glory", see the battle as their duty to protect the rest of Greece for as long as possible. In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes sends his massive army to conquer Greece. The Greek city of Sparta houses its finest warriors, and 300 of these soldiers are chosen to meet the Persians at Thermopylae, engaging the soldiers in a narrow canyon where they cannot take full advantage of their numbers. The battle is a suicide mission, meant to buy time for the rest of the Greek forces to prepare for the invasion. However, that doesn't stop the Spartans from throwing their hearts into the fray, determined to take as many Persians as possible with them. When the ambitious King Xerxes of Persia invades Greece with his huge army to extend his vast slave empire, the brave Ling Leonidas brings his personal body guard army composed of three hundred warriors to defend the passage of Thermopylae, the only way by land to reach Greece. Using courage and the great battle skill of his men, he defends Thermopylae until a treacherous Greek citizen tells King Xerxes a secret goat passage leading to the back of Leonidas's army. Meanwhile, his wife Queen Gorgo of Sparta tries to convince the council to send the Spartan army to fight against the Persians.


Why does my1991grand am run rough and backfire out the throttle body and the timing chain is okay?

this could be due to either burnt valves, or valve seats. other then that, the cylendar is getting too much fuel.


What causes an 89 dodge d100 to backfire through carb and loose power?

I don't think they had carburetors on the 89's. They were throttle body fuel injection. As far as the backfire and loss of power, check the firing order (in case it got messed up), check the distributor cap and rotor for moisture and carbon arc. Check the spark plugs and spark plug wires for damage.


How did the Persians defeat the Spartans in the battle of thermopylae?

At Thermopylae the Greeks held the only pass through the mountains and shore line,Persian King Xerxes thought,and after several attempts to clear the defending Greeks out and after suffering heavy casualties against the very tough Greek Phalanx he was perplexed on how to proceed next when a Greek informer told Xerxes about a path that went around the Greeks and came down on the other side of the narrow pass,of course he exploited it and eliminated Spartan King Leonidas,his personal body guard of 300 and his Greek allies to the man.Its not known how many Persians were killed at Thermopylae but its believed to be between 10,000 to as many as 20,000 including many of Xerxes' famous Immortals.
