Storyline
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.
