Who discovered Thermopylae?
The pass of Thermopylae was used by peoples for thousands of years as a route between northern and southern Greece, first by nomadic peoples, then for trade and invasion. This led the Persians to use it as their route into southern Greece when they invaded in 480 BCE.
Why was the Thermopylae battle held on Thermopylae grounds?
Because it would have been just stupid to hold the Battle of Thermopylae in, say, London.The Battle of Thermopylae (like many battles) was named for the place in which the battle took places. "Thermo" means "Hot" and "Pylae" means "Gates". The area was called the "Hot Gates" because the sharp cliff faces made passage very thin, like the imagined entrance into the fires of hell.The main Persian advantage over the Greeks was sheer numbers, which meant that the best chance for the Greeks to prevail was to force the Persians into a position where they could not outflank the Greeks and make the amount of fighters on each side more balanced. Because of how thin the passage was through Thermopylae, it was deemed as an excellent site to provide this type of position.
Do we know the names of the 300 Spartans at the battle of Thermopylae?
No. The monument on which their names were supposedly inscribed is lost to time. Few we know of from Herodotus are Leonidas son of Anaxandridas II, Dienekes, Alpheios and Maron sons of Orsiphantos, Eurystos,and Aristodemos who is supposedly the only Spartan hoplite(not helot/slave,many of them survived) who survived the battle of Thermopylae.
Where were 100s of Spartans killed?
100s of Spartans were killed in many places, but the question probably refers to the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, and the legend of the 300 Spartans.
