Who discovered Thermopylae?

How might the Persians war have ended if the Spartans had not slowed the Persians at Thermopylae?
The slowing of the Persia advance was to force a sea battle in the nearby strait at Artemesia in an attempt to destroy the Persian fleet. As this sea battle failed, the three day delay at Thermopylae had no overall significance. The invasion was turned back at the subsequent battles of Salamis, Plataia and Mycale.

The pass at Thermopylai remains to this day.

Who were the main combatants in the battle of Thermopylae?
The Trojan War took place in Greek Mythology during a time period where countries as they are known today did not exist. The war was fought between the city of Troy and the Achaens, who formed a collective of Greek city states. The city of Troy would have been located in modern-day Turkey.
How might the Persian wars have ended if the Spartans had not slowed at Thermopylae?
The Persian Wars would have proceeded the same if the Spartans had not slowed the Persians at Thermopylae. The reason the Spartans wanted to hold up the Persian advance was to force a sea battle in the Artemisium Strait to destroy the Persian navy.The Persians won the sea battle, and it had to be refought later at Salamis. After the failure of the sea battle, the blocking force at Thermopylae was withdrawn. The battle had no effect on the outcome of the invasion.No difference whatsoever, the Persians simply moved on with a three day delay of no effect.
How long did the Spartans hold off the Persians?
Two days. The third day of the battle can perhaps be counted as well, although by then the Persians had been shown a way around, the Spartans remained to block the pass at Thermopylae until they were destroyed.
