The Battle Of Thermopylae: Persian War
The Battle of Thermopylae
The Battle of Thermopylae was a significant battle of the Persian war. It consisted of 2 sides, the Greeks and the Persians as the king of Persia intended to invade Greece. Greece and Sparta were never in close relations but decided to put that aside and have Sparta lead the Greeks. The Spartans were disciplined and trained at a very young age as it was normal for them to send their children to the military. They came together and despite the limited amount of soldiers they had, attempted to delay the Persians at a narrow pass. There were about 7,000 Greek soldiers, however, many historians argue how many Persians were actually there. The Persian army consisted of about 800,000
