A battle took place, at a narrow sea-shore lined track at Thermopylae, about 2500 years ago. The defenders fought valiantly against the Persians but were ultimately killed to the last man.
Simonides of Ceos wrote about it with these words:
Go tell the Spartans, you who read:
we took their orders, and lie here dead.
