The purpose of the Thermopylae delay was to provoke a sea battle in the nearby strait of Artemesion, in the hope of destroying the Persian fleet. The Persian fleet won, and the Greeks had to withdraw to try again at Salamis, which they did win. The Thermopylae delay had no effect on the outcome of the war.
Can't remember the Persians singing poems to anyone.
