What Greek city-state protected itself from its powerful neighbor and to defend against a threat from the Persian Empire?
All Greek city-states had to protect themselves from their neighbours - they were a predatory people. And when the Persian threat emerged, they had to choose between submitting to Persian rule or joining a confederation to oppose invasion. The opposing group was led by Sparta, and after it was removed, the Greek cities went back to fighting each other.

Did the 300 Spartans exist?
We have reliable historians who have recorded this to be so, but not in quite the romantic way depicted in some accounts and movies. The 300 were the bodyguard of King Leonidas of Sparta. As the invading Persians had a strong amphibious capability which threatened the Greek cities, the cities all kept their main armies back for home defence, including Sparta. So Leonidas took this bodyguard, plus a couple of thousand serfs owned by them as light infantry, to Thermopylai to help the other city contingents hold the pass and force a sea battle in the adjacent strait, in an attempt to cripple the Persian naval forces, and so get rid of the amphibious threat. The sea battle at Artemesion was a failure, and so the sacrifice was in vain. A second sea battle at Salamis, off Athens, was successful, and with the amphibious threat gone, the cities sent their full armies to Plataia the following spring and defeated the Persian land forces and their Greek allies, ending the Persian invasion.
