The Battle of Plataea
Everyone knows the inspiring and glorious story of the Spartans’ heroic last stand at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. King Leonidas with his 300 courageous Spartans and their allies held off the invading million man army of the Persian Empire for three long days causing horrific damage in both casualties and morale to King Xerxes’ men. “Remember Thermopylae!” would be the Greeks’ rally cry for freedom and the Spartans thirst for revenge would not go unquenched for long.
Remember Thermopylae!!!!!
