Who discovered Thermopylae?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The ancient Battle of Thermopylae was a three day battle in 480 BC between the ancient Greeks and the ancient Persians on the west coastline of Greece. It was a Greek victory. Information regarding this epic battle comes from many sources. Perhaps the best source is from the ancient Greek historian and the so-called :Father of History, Herodotus. It would be incorrect to ask "who discovered the Battle of Thermopylae"?
