The Greeks made a stand at a narrow pass called Thermopylae, hoping to delay the Persian advance and defend their homeland. Despite being vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held off the Persians for three days until a traitor revealed a secret path that allowed the Persians to flank and defeat the Greeks. The battle is famous for the bravery and sacrifice of the 300 Spartan warriors who fought to the death, buying time for the rest of the Greek army to retreat and prepare for a later victory at the Battle of Plataea.
