Thermopylae. Greatly outnumbered, the Greeks delayed the enemy in one of the most
famous last stands in history. Led by the Spartan King, Leonidas, and a force of 300
Spartan warriors, 11,000 Greeks faced more than 150,000 Persians under the
leadership of King xerxes. A local resident named Ephialtes betrayed the Greeks,
revealing a mountain path that led behind the Greek lines. Dismissing the rest of
the army, King Leonidas stayed behind with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespian volunteers
to delay the advance of the Persian army as long as possible.
