Yes, Xerxes, the Persian king, was indeed mad at the Greeks, particularly after their resistance during the Persian Wars. His anger stemmed from the Greeks' defiance at battles like Marathon and their alliance against Persian expansion. This resentment fueled his determination to invade Greece and seek revenge for the Persian losses. Ultimately, his campaign culminated in significant battles such as Thermopylae and Salamis, where he aimed to assert Persian dominance.

The Greeks at Thermopylae were defeated by the Persian forces led by King Xerxes I. The battle occurred in 480 BCE during the Second Persian invasion of Greece. Despite their valiant defense, particularly by the Spartan King Leonidas and his warriors, the Greeks were ultimately outmaneuvered after a traitor, Ephialtes, revealed a secret mountain path to the Persians.
