?==='''Historical context'''===+
? +
?In 530 BCE the kind and noble King Anaxadrides of Sparta was given a healthy son. This son would later become the King hero of Thermopylae, King Leonidas of Sparta.+
? +
?In 490 BCE Athens had defeated the Persians under Darius I at the Battle of Marathon. Xerxes I, Darius' son, would now ten years later seek revenge. Xerxes marched on Greece with a large army of over 80.000 men and then found out, Leonidas and 300 Spartans joined an army of 6.000 men from other Greek City-States. After landing the Perian army marched east, shadowed by the Persian navy to a pass in the mountains called Thermopylae. Leonidas placed his men at the narrow pass to the Persian numbers would work against them. Leonidas received a messenger from Xerxes demanding their weapons which Leonidas responded with the famous "Come and take them", the Battle of Thermopylae had begun.+
? +
?The Greeks held their ground for three days but Leonidas soon learned of a Greek traitor who had told Xerxes about a way around the Greek line and on the third day the Greeks were surrounded. For filling their duty as Spartans, Leonidas sent the rest of the Greek forces away so they could form a better defence but around 1.100 Thebans and Thespians chose to stay behind and stand with their Spartan allies until the end. Now all that stood between Xerxes' mighty Persian army was 1,400 Spartans, loyal Helots, Thebans and Thespian. Though the remaining Greeks where surrounded they fought friced. Early on in the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BCE, Leonidas fell but the last Greeks fought until their weapons broke where they then fought with their bare hands. As the battle drew to an end only the Thebans survived by surrendering.+
? +
?Xerxes would go on to burn Athens to the ground but when he learned about the defeat at the Battle of Salamis, Xerxes retreated back over to Aisa Minor to avoid being trapped in Greece.+
? +
?Leonidas might have failed at stopping the Persian but his sacrifice and heroism rallied more Greeks to the defence of their country. Forty years after Thermopylae Leonidas's remain where returned to Sparta and buried in a shrine built to honour his memory.+
? +
?To this day at Thermopylae an epitaph can be found that reads, "Stranger, you who read these words, go tell the Spartans we have obeyed their orders and now lie here."+
