Who he was
Leonidas was one of Sparta’s two kings when the Persian king Xerxes invaded Greece in 480 BC. He led a small Greek force to hold the narrow pass of Thermopylae, and for two days they threw back the Persian attacks.
Then a local man showed the Persians a path around the pass. Leonidas sent most of the allies away and stayed with his 300 Spartans, the Thespians and the Thebans; the Spartans and Thespians died fighting. Herodotus tells the story.
