what's the name of a famous greek batle that was fought by a few hundred greeks against thousands of enemies

Answer 1

It's spelt Thermopylae.

Happened in 480BCE.

Terribly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the Persians for two days. Leonidas, the Spartan King commanding the army, held up the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. The resistance of the Spartan-led army offered Athens the invaluable opportunity to make battle preparations and decisively defeat the Persians at the battles of Salamis

Answer 2

Thermopylae was scene of a battle in 480 BC between the defending Greeks and the attacking Persians. It is a narrow pass that is a necessary passage into Greece. Leonidas the King of the Spartans with 7000 Greeks was ordered to hold the pass. They were attacked by 250,000 + Persians. They successfully held them off until a local Greek farmer, Ephialtes, revealed the existence of another way around the pass to the Persian for money. Knowing that they were to be surrounded Leonidas released all the Greeks from their vows and told them to leave. He and three hundred Spartans stood and died holding the pass as they had been ordered to. Their loyalty to their laws and orders brought Greece sufficient time to muster the men to defeat the Persian.
