Historians, especially Herodotos, wrote about it, and its importance has been exaggerated far beyond its real importance in the Persian War. It should be remembered for the self-sacrifice of the Spartan and Thespian contingents who hung on and sacrificed themselves to allow the other contingents to escape from the Persian pursuit when the force was withdrawn.
