The battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC.
King Leonidas
Back in ancient times it was the place of battle between the Spartans led by Leonidas and the Persians led by Xerxes. The modern-day location is simply Thermopylae, Greece. Hope that helps. :-)
300 Spartan armoured warriors who were the bodyguard of King Leodidas, one of the two kings of Sparta, and about 2000 of their supporting light infantry.Most of the remainder of the delaying force at Thermopylai, of about 7000 from other Greek cities, got away safely because the Spartan force stayed back to cover their withdrawal and died selflessly to let them get away.
