After Marathon, Leonidas swallows his frustration and readies Sparta: he hardens the phalanx, stitches together alliances, and leads the Hellenic League. When Xerxes demands “earth and water,” the envoys are thrown into a well. The Oracle of Delphi proclaims: either Sparta falls, or a king dies. Prevented by the Carneia, Leonidas sets out with 300 chosen men, calls in reinforcements, and fortifies Thermopylae with the Phocian Wall. Around 7,000 Greeks face the greatest army in the world. The time to prove their courage had come.

Interesting
If xerxes defeats Leonidas without cost, there is nothing called democracy. There would be no France or Republic’!
Hyacinthia was the festival celebrated by the Spartans during the Thermopylae period. Herodotus confused these festivals.
SPARTANS what is your profession
Go tell the Spartans passerby, that here, by Spartan law, we lie.
''This is madness!''
Only 300 because they are Leonidas personal bodyguards (who obey only the king to whom the guard belonged) and all have sons so their generations be continue
THIS IS SPARTA
