Thermopylai was not a war, it was a small delaying action in the 50-year Persian War.
Athens had already abandoned the city and sent its women, children, oldies and slaves to refuge in cities in the Peloponnesian peninsula.
The able males manned its fleet which combined with the fleets of the other cities to fight on at sea.
The Persians burnt and looted the city and demolished its walls in retribution for the defeat inflicted on them at Marathon ten years earlierat. The Persians withdrew north for the winter, then reoccupied the city the following spring.
When the Persians were defeated by the coalition of Greek city-states at Plataia, the Athenians reoccupird their city and built new walls, this time extending them down to include its port, so that the city could be supplied by sea in future seiges.

Athens was not involved in the delaying action at Thermopylae Pass. Its manpower was fully occupied manning its fleet as part of the southern Greek fleet at the battle of Artemisia Holding the Pass at Thermopylae was designed to force the Persians to try to outflank the bottleneck by sea, and the Greek fleet was waiting to pounce. The Greeks lost the sea battle and the Thermopylae force, its mission no longer relevant, was withdrawn. This exposed Athens to the advancing Persian army. They evacuated the city and it was occupied by the Persians. So Athens was not helped by Thermopylae.
the battle of thermoply Thermopylae was in the Second Persian War when Athens and Sparta were on the same side. The most important battle in question was the Siege of Syracuse.
The Persian army directed by their king Xerxes I.
