Visual Arts Greek Drama Philosophers Socrates Plato Aristotle Historians Science Persian Wars – Battle of Thermopylae • Thermopylae ("hot gates") was a pass the Greeks tried to defend in battle against the Persians in 480 B.C. • Persians led by Xerxes • Spartan King Leonidas was in charge of the Greek forces. He had three goals: – Restrain & delay the strong Persian Army – Keep them from attacking the Greek navy (under Athenian control) – Block them long enough so they would be forced to sail back for food, water & supplies Persian Wars – Battle of Thermopylae • Unfortunately for Leonidas, after a couple of days, a Persian-sympathizer & traitor named Ephialtes led the Persians around the pass running behind the Greek army, thereby squashing the chance of Greek victory. • Now expecting defeat, Leonidas sent away most of his troops. • The remaining 300 Spartan troops fought this unstoppable Persian force to their deaths, blocking the pass long enough to keep Xerxes and his army occupied while the rest of the Greek army escaped. • All 300 warriors were killed and Greece accepted defeat • In 480BC, aided by northern Greeks, the Persians marched on Athens and burned it to the ground (already been evacuated) The Last Stand of the 300 • For the rest of class, you will be watching a video on the last stand of the 300 at the Battle of Thermopylae. • Answer the questions on the worksheet • Pay attention! This information will be included on the unit test
