300 Men vs. an Entire Army | The Battle of Thermopylae #History #Thermopylae #Spartans

In 480 BC, King Xerxes of Persia invaded Greece with a massive army.

At the narrow pass of Thermopylae, King Leonidas of Sparta and a small Greek force stood in their way.

For days, the Greeks held the pass against the Persian invasion — until a betrayal revealed a hidden path around their position.

Leonidas and his Spartans chose to stay and fight.

Their defeat became one of the most famous last stands in history.

But Thermopylae was only the beginning.

The Persian invasion would continue — and Greece would fight back.

This is the Battle of Thermopylae.
