The body of Leonidas, the Spartan king who died at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, was reportedly recovered by the Persians. According to historical accounts, the Persians mutilated his body as a form of humiliation. However, the Spartans later retrieved his remains and brought them back to Sparta, where he was honored with a hero's burial and a memorial was erected in his honor.
