Who where the ancient Greece gods?

The ancient Greeks were the people of Greece and who migrated from Greece to other parts of the Mediterranean, including Cyprus, Crete, Asia Minor, Sicily, and especially Southern Italy, where they carried on Greek culture. They spoke a language that was, and is, its own branch of the Indo-European Languages. They were important in the development of politics, law, philosophy, mathematics, and a host of other intellectual pursuits. They were profoundly influential on European culture. There were several distinct clearly important periods in ancient Greek history, the first being the Mycenaean civilization, which lasted from about 1600 to 1100 BC, and the second being classical Greece, from had its origins in about 800 BC, and its flowering from about 500 to the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. This was followed by the Hellenistic Era, when Greek influence produced Hellenistic empires and Kingdoms in Egypt and Asia. Finally, Greece was conquered by the Romans, became the center of the East Roman Empire, and developed into the medieval Roman Empire, which we call the Byzantine Empire today.

What was the role of the Spartans in the Persian War?

There was no 'Spartan-Persian' War. There were two main Persian invasions, in 490BC by Darius I and 480BC by Darius' son Xerxes I. Sparta arrived too late at the main battle of the First invasion which the Athenians crushed at Marathon. In the second Persian war, Sparta sacrificed their best men along with their King (Leonidas I 490-480BC) at the battle of Thermopylae. 700 Thespians and 300 Thebans also gave their lives to delay the Persian advance. The Persians marched onto Athens which they sacked while the Athenians were safe on the island of Salamis. The Athenian fleet then defeated the vastly outnumbering Persian fleet at the battle of Salamis. The enormous land army engaged with 10000 Spartans leading about 30000 other Greeks at the battle of Plataea in 479BC and defeated the Persian invasion which then returned home to Sardis.
