Xerxes was the Persian king, who wanted to take over Greece. Leonidas was the king of Sparta, who was one of many to defend Greece. It's pretty obvious why they were enemies.
Xerxes, the Persian king, demanded that Leonidas and the Greeks surrender and submit to Persian rule, offering them a chance to join his forces in exchange for their safety. He sought their weapons and insisted on their loyalty, aiming to subdue the Greek city-states through intimidation. Leonidas famously refused, choosing instead to fight for Greek freedom and honor, which led to the historic Battle of Thermopylae.

It was Leonidas, then brave Spartan king and his 300 body guards.
Xerxes (I) the Great of Persia was king during the Second Persian Wars. There was no king of Greece as the region was divided into a series of city-states (some of which had kings -- Sparta, for example, was led by King Leonidas who fought at the battle of Thermopylae, which the movie 300 was based on).
Xerxes, the King of Persia. And not a legend - it has sound historical evidence.
