[QUOTE="XRpredator, post: 697394, member: 19389"] In 480 BC, Xerxes, king of Persia, led a force of 100,000 Persians across the Dardanelles over a bridge of boats. The Persians marched through Thrace and Macedonia and into Thessaly. The Greeks took up strong defensive positions at Thermopylae Pass, guarding the entrance to Boeotia and Attica. Xerxes reached Thermopylae and found the Greeks could not be budged. Eventually after three days of fighting, a Greek traitor showed the Persians a flanking route through another pass. To give the main army of 5,000 Greek hoplites time to withdraw, King Leonidas I of Sparta remained at the pass with 300 of his bodyguards and small contingent of Thespians to fight a rear-guard action against overwhelming odds. All of the Spartans and Thespians died in the battle, but they delayed the Persians long enough to allow the Greek force to escape and reform at the Isthmus of Corinth. Them Spartans were tough.
