The Battle of Thermopylae, fought in 480 BCE during the Greco-Persian Wars, involved an alliance of Greek city-states led by King Leonidas I of Sparta against the invading Persian forces commanded by King Xerxes I. The Greek contingent comprised around 7,000 soldiers, with a significant force of 300 Spartans who famously stood their ground at the narrow pass of Thermopylae. The battle is renowned for the Spartans' valor and sacrifice, ultimately culminating in their defeat but serving as a symbol of resistance against tyranny.
