King Leonidas became the object of Spartan hero cult worship, and he stands as the personification of Greek bravery against overwhelming odds. His main belief was that Spartan warriors never surrender
-----
Once, when someone said that Leonidas was no better than anyone else, aside from the fact that he was the king, he replied, "If I were not better than you, I would not be king." Clearly, he believed in himself as a leader.
