Uncertain, but some say dead go to Hades, underworld. It was so in Athens, but Spartans were not very good writers, so we know very little. Explanation of the word Hades in unknown. Some scientists have suggested that it has something to do with the word "invisible". So death could mean that you become invisible and vanish, only thing that lives on of your biological body, is fame and memory in other people's minds.
Yes, the 300 Spartan hoplites with their 2,000 light infantry continued to hold the pass to let their 4,000 Greek allies escape and died to preserve them.
He did not retire, historians believe he died of rheumatic fever before he could retire.(He died on December 5, 1791 in Vienna.)

Spartans in the course of time had several leaders worth to mention apart the fact that they were descendants of deity origin since Lacedaemon was son of god Zeus and Taygete. The most famous leader though was Leonidas King of Sparta who fought against the Persian army at Thermopylae in 480 BCE and died there along with his 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians.
Nobody did at the time.
Three Spartans died defending the pass of Thermopylae
I don't believe anyone died...Where did you hear that someone died?
Yes they did. Most Spartans died at Reach, however some Spartans (such as June), were actually missing along with Dr. Halsey.
All of the Spartans died, or went MIA at the Fall of Reach. Except for The Master Chief.
A spartans idea of a "Beautiful death" is actually a historic truth. When the ancient greek spartans were to go into battle anyone who died in battle were explained to have a "Beautiful death" in that they died in the heat of battle instead of old age or of disease, so when the spartan in the film 300 was talking about a "Beautiful death" he was referring to dieing in battle.
They believed they would go to the afterlife after they died

Three hundred Spartans died defending the Pass of Thermopylae, also known as The Hot Gates. After the battle was over, the Persians gained control of Boeotia.
The ancient Romans believed in the underworld, which was ruled by the god Pluto.
They believed that when Paraohs died they would become one of the circumpolar stars
He is not. they thought he was because alot of the spartans died when reach fell. and the surviving ones went MIA (they were in this shield world thing) but after master chief got lost in space they found the remaining Spartans.
the pass is called "The Pass of Thermopylae"
