The Battle of Thermopylae .
Thermopylai was a small battle in the 50-year Persian War over three days in 480 BCE.
Battle of Three Rocks happened on 1798-05-30.
The slowing of the Persia advance was to force a sea battle in the nearby strait at Artemesia in an attempt to destroy the Persian fleet. As this sea battle failed, the three day delay at Thermopylae had no overall significance. The invasion was turned back at the subsequent battles of Salamis, Plataia and Mycale.
The pass of Thermopylae was used by peoples for thousands of years as a route between northern and southern Greece, first by nomadic peoples, then for trade and invasion. This led the Persians to use it as their route into southern Greece when they invaded in 480 BCE.
