How can a small army defeat a big one?

One of the best ways for a small, defending Army to defeat a much larger one is to pick the battleground. For example, in Ancient Times, King Leonidas of Sparta defeated a much larger Persian army because they fought at the mountain pass of Thermopylae. The spartan men could line the entire mountain pass, however the Persians could only deploy a few men to attack. There is historical question about whether this battle was a true victory for Greece, as the Persians did eventually get past the Greek forces, however I believe this to be a Greek victory, as many Persians were lost. On the offensive, one should use his men wisely, make no sacrifices, and remember it is okay to retreat. Google Leonidas or Alexander the Great to see historical examples of tactics beating strength in numbers.

Why was the battle of Thermopylae considered a show of patriotism for the Spartans and the Athenians?

The Athenians were not at Thermopylai. A small Spartan force led about 5,000 warriors from Greek city contingents in helping force a naval battle in the nearby strait. There was no Greek nation to be patriotic about. But half the independent Greek city-states put aside their ongoing wars between each other and combined against the invading Persians out of self interest. The other half of the Greek city-states sided with the Persians.
