He tarried too long after the Greeks decided to withdraw from the pass at Thermopylae having been betrayed by the Trachinian, efialtis. Leonidas and his 300 Spartans, another 700 Thespians and 400 Thebans were all killed.. On the other hand, they stayed behind holding the pass to let the other 7,000 vastly outnumbered Greek defenders withdraw before the Persian cavalry could break through and cut them down.
