The Most BRUTAL Last Stand In History: The 300 Spartans at Thermopylae

In 480 BC, the largest army the ancient world had ever assembled marched toward Greece with one goal total erasure. Standing in its path was a corridor of rock barely wide enough for eight men to stand abreast. And a small force of soldiers who had already decided, before they left home, that they were not coming back. This is the real story of the Battle of Thermopylae the three-day last stand that didn’t just delay an empire, but lit the fuse that destroyed it. 📚SOURCES Primary sources referenced in this documentary include: Herodotus — Histories Book VII.
