In
the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of
Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in
the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered,
the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most
famous last stands of history. Persian King Xerxes
lead a Army of well over 100,000 (Persian king Xerxes
before war has about 170,000 army) men to Greece and
was confronted by 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and
other Slave soldiers. Xerxes waited for 10 days for
King Leonidas to surrender or withdraw left with no
options he moved. The battle lasted for about 3 days
and after which all 300 Spartans were killed. The
Spartan defeat was not the one expected as a local
shepherd named Ephialtes defected to the Persians and
informed Xerxes of a separate path through
Thermopylae, which the Persians could use to outflank
the Greeks.
