Greece, Thermopylae - A monument in honor of Leonidas and his soldiers

In ancient times, it was a narrow strip of land that was the only route towards Athens. In 480 BC 300 Spartans led by Leonidas resisted the huge Persian army. However, the Spartans suffered a defeat because they were betrayed.

W czasach starożytnych był to wąski pas ziemi stanowiący jedyną drogę w kierunku Aten. W 480 r.p.n.e. 300 Spartan pod wodzą Leonidasa stawiło opór ogromnej armii Persów. Spartanie ponieśli jednak klęskę gdyż zostali zdradzeni.
