The pass at Thermopylae was held to precipitate a sea battle to destroy the Persian fleet in the nearby strait of Artemesia - the sea battle was lost so the blocking force was withdrawn.
The Spartan contingent continued to hold the pass to cover the blocking force's withdrawal. It was annihilated, but won lasting fame for its selfless sacrifice.
