The '''Battle of Thermopylae''' was a famous battle during the [[Greco-Persian Wars]], fought in north western greece. It is known for the fact that 300 [[Sparta|Spartan]] soldiers and 7000 other Greek soldiers (most notably the  [[Thespiae|Thespians]]) held off an army of several hundred thousand [[Persia|Persian]] soldiers (led by [[Xerxes]]) for three days, therefore giving the rest of Greece time to group and prepare to the south.  It was considered to be a defining moment in the war.
