18 Leonidas Monument, Battle of Thermopylae, Thermopylae Greece
The Leonidas Monument commemorates the Battle of Thermopylae, fought in August 480 BC. Leonidas marched out of Sparta with a small force of 1,200 men, where he was joined by forces from other Greek city-states, to engage Xerxes' vastly larger army at Thermopylae. During two full days of battle, the small force led by Leonidas blocked the only road by which the massive Persian army could pass. After the second day, a local resident named Ephialtes betrayed the Greeks by revealing a small path that led behind the Greek lines. Leonidas, aware that his force was being outflanked, dismissed the bulk of the Greek army and remained to guard their retreat with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians, fighting to the death. The music we used is Rizzo by Michael Forman.
GREECE: The historic site of the battle of THERMOPYLAE (Θερμοπύλαι) 480BC ????️
SUBSCRIBE: - The sight of the battle of Thermopylae, Greece, between the Greeks and the Persians. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Thermopylae is a place in Greece where a narrow coastal passage existed in antiquity. It derives its name from its hot sulphur springs. The Hot Gates is the place of hot springs and in Greek mythology it is the cavernous entrances to Hades.
Greece is a country in southeastern Europe with thousands of islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. Influential in ancient times, it's often called the cradle of Western civilization. Athens, its capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. Greece is also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos.

10 Rare Ancient Greek Discoveries
Here are 10 rare and historical discoveries from a coin where only 12 actually exist to a golden crown found under someones' bed!
Subscribe to American Eye
5. Greek Warrior Helmet
This mysterious finding dates back to 5th or 6th century BC and it’s not exactly the helmet itself that’s baffling archaeologists but where it was found and who wore it! This bronze Greek Phalanx helmet was found at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea but off the coast of Haifa, Israel! It was found by a Dutch dredging ship and it was handed off to the Israeli Antiquities Authorities for further examination. The helmet is in quite remarkable condition for something this old. Experts have two theories on why it was found near Israel. Some claim it was from a Greek mercenary who was paid to fight for the Egyptians. Others believe it was worn by a Greek soldier who was sent into battle against the Persians who ruled the area at the time. Greeks did have some influence in Israel but this helmet dates back a few centuries before that time.
4. Ancient Sea Travel
Ancient Greeks might have not only had the power to time travel but also to travel the seas at a much earlier date in time then we once thought. Thanks to this discovery found on the island of Crete, archaeologists can prove that sea travel took place at least 130,000 years ago. The previous known time people were able to trave l by boat was around 60,000 BC. Stone age tools like these axes were found in ancient shelters. They’re very similar to the tools used by our ancient ancestors known as the Homo Erectus. Since the island of Crete has been separated from the mainland of Greece for quite some time now, this leads archaeologists to believe that the only way settlers were able to get here was by some type of boat. How advanced were these boats they had, and what other places were discovered that we might not know about?
3. Spartan Palace?
You might be familiar with the ancient Spartans from the movie 300, where King Leonidas leads his small Spartan army into a gruesome battle but could archaeologists have found his palaces after all these years? Just a few miles south of the known location of Sparta near a small village, you can see where it was discovered. The building had around 10 rooms and was found filled with archaic inscription from the 17th to 16th centuries BC. They found a large variety of objects like 20 Bronze swords, and religious symbols. One of the cult like objects found at this possible palace, is this bull’s head cup that you see in this photo. If this is truly the palace of Spartan leader, we’d still be lucky to have some artifacts left over, since the palace was burnt to the ground in the 14th century BC. The Spartan civilization was one of the most important to live in Greece and it mysteriously disappeared around 1200 BC.
2. Ancient Greek Citadel
This was declared as one of Jerusalem's greatest archaeological mysteries and it has left many people completely puzzled! The legendary citadel known as the Acra was finally found underneath a parking lot in the center of Jerusalem! This fort was built by Emperor Antiochus the fourth and is finally proof that the Greeks had some influence in the holy town of Jerusalem. The dig site now plunges 3 stories below the surface of the earth and archaeologists search frantically for ruins and artifacts. The fort was later destroyed by Romans and the land near the ruins became a residential area. These sling stones and bronze arrowheads were found at the dig site, close to the old city walls of Jerusalem.
1. Ancient Warrior Tomb
US archaeologists claim to have made the most important discovery in Greece in 65 years. They came across a 7 foot tomb in 2015 that contain priceless relics from this remarkable civilization. The tomb contained the remains of a powerful ancient Greek warrior, whose tomb remained untouched for 3.5 thousand years. It’s almost like the Greek version of the tomb of King Tut since; the tomb was not grave robbed. The jewelry had a similar style to that of the Minoans, who flourished on the island of Crete. Here in this illustration, you see how the grave appeared before modern graverobbers got a hold of it. Priceless gold jewelry, as well as strings of pearls were discovered. It’s clear that this warrior was wealthy due to this ivory sword hilt that was found designed with what looks like a bull. What else might we uncover about this advanced, ancient civilisation?
Thermopylae - The Monument for the 300 Spartans
The Battle of Thermopylae changed the course of European history.
The history - behind legend - is the following; The Spartans knew that the Battle of Thermopylae would be lost for sure. That's why they really did not send any army. In order not to offend the other Greeks, they sent only King Leonidas with the royal guard (300 men). And that was not the real royal guard. They were all middle-aged men who left behind them at least one son as a soldier. This is the greatness of their sacrifice. They went there by knowing that everyone would die.
The epigram tells it all.
Go tell the Spartans, passer-by, that here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
Η μάχη των Θερμοπυλών άλλαξε την πορεία της ευρωπαϊκής ιστορίας.
Η ιστορία – πέρα απ’ το θρύλο – είναι η εξής: Οι Σπαρτιάτες ήξεραν ότι η μάχη στις Θερμοπύλες ήταν χαμένη υπόθεση. Γι’ αυτό δεν έστειλαν στρατό. Για να μην προσβάλουν τους άλλους Έλληνες έστειλαν μόνο το βασιλιά Λεωνίδα με τη βασιλική φρουρά (300 άνδρες). Και δεν ήταν η πραγματική βασιλική φρουρά. Ήταν όλοι μεσήλικες άνδρες που άφηναν πίσω τουλάχιστον ένα γιο στρατιώτη. Αυτό είναι το μεγαλείο της θυσίας τους. Ξεκίνησαν ξέροντας ότι όλοι θα πεθάνουν.
La Batalla de las Termópilas cambió el curso de la historia europea.
La historia, detrás de la leyenda, es la siguiente. Los Espartanos sabían que la Batalla de las Termópilas se perdería con seguridad. Es por eso que realmente no enviaron ningún ejército. Para no ofender a los otros griegos, enviaron solo al rey Leonidas con la guardia real (300 hombres). Y esa no era la verdadera guardia real. Eran todos hombres de mediana edad que dejaron al menos a un hijo como soldado. Esta es la grandeza de su sacrificio. Fueron allí sabiendo que todos morirían.
El epigrama lo dice todo.
Ve y cuéntales a los espartanos, paseantes, que aquí, obedientes a sus leyes, mentimos.

Battle of Thermopylae - Spartans vs Persians
Western Democracy traces its roots to ancient Greece, a land of squabbling city-states. Amongst these warring city-states arose Athens, and a group of men who had a funny idea: citizens should get a say in who exactly got to rule them. Though initially imperfect in its implementation, that idea has since evolved to the free Democratic nations most of us live in today- but it could all have been lost to a single moment in history.
Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show- today we're taking a look at another of the Greatest Battles in History: the battle of Thermopylae
In 499 BC Greek cities which had been captured by the Persians in Asia Minor revolted against the brutal tyrants that had been placed to oversee them. In support of their conquered brethren, Athens and Eretria sent troops. Despite some major gains, several strategic mistakes cost the Greeks of Asia Minor their ultimate victory and the rebellion was put down.
With Asia Minor back in the fold of the Persian Empire, the Persian king Darius I vowed to punish Athens and Eretria for their involvement, and saw the rest of the free cities of Greece as a threat to his empire. In 492 BC he launched an invasion of Thrace and Macedon, then sent heralds to the remaining Greek city-states demanding they accept Persian rule. Seeking to save themselves, many agreed- with the notable exceptions of Athens and Sparta.
The Persian heralds in Athens were thrown into a pit, and their Spartan brethren followed suit by tossing theirs into a well. Enraged, Darius launched his invasion of mainland Greece and met with further success until an encounter against 10,000 Athenians in Marathon. Outnumbering the Greeks by 2.5 to 1, Darius saw an easy win- only for the Athenians to achieve a dramatic victory and force Darius to retreat.
Nursing a very wounded ego, Darius planned an imminent re-invasion, with plans to raze Athens to the ground- but internal politics delayed these plans and Darius died of old age. Seeking to avenge the pride of his dead father, Xerxes prepared for a decisive campaign to end Greek independence forever.
Remembering well the lessons at Marathon, Xerxes took his time to build a sizable force. Though some historical accounts tell of a force up to 2.5 million strong- these are almost certainly gross exaggeration, and it's more likely that Xerxes marched with 200,000 to 250,000, though for the ancient world this would certainly have been an incredible and mind-boggling number. Xerxes plan was simple: march into Greece through the north, and outflank any Greek defenders by landing his navy behind them along the Greek coast.
