King Leonidas and the 300 Spartan armoured warriors who were his personal bodyguard, with 2,100 Spartan light infantry, who along with 700 Thespians and about 4,000 warriors from from other Greek cities fought the battle in August-September 480 BCE to force a sea battle in the nearby Malian Guld to destroy the Persian navy.
Most of the other city warriors were sent off before the end of the battle to get inside friendly walls before the Persian cavalry broke through and rode them down, and the 2,400 Spartans and 700 Thespians fought to the death to give them the chance to get away. Leonidas also kept the Theban contingent as he suspected them of switching sides - during the final fight they quickly surrendered.

How many Persians died from the 300 Greeks?
My guess is that you're talking about the Battle of Thermopylae. The Persians lost about 20,000 men, but there weren't "300 Greeks" ... there were 300 Spartans, in a mixed force totaling around 7,000 Greeks in all. They managed to hold off the Persian army for around a week, including two days of actual fighting.When the (much larger) Persian army found a way around the narrow pass to outflank the Greeks, the Spartan general Leonidas and a force of about 300 Spartans (and around 1200 other Greeks from various cities) remained to hold off the Persians while the bulk of the Greek force escaped to warn the cities of Greece that the Persians had taken the pass and were on their way. This rear guard was essentially annihilated on the third day of fighting. All told, the Greeks lost between 2,000 and 4,000 men in the battle.
