There were actually about 7,000 Greeks at the battle, the Greeks claim the Persians had 250,000 to 1 million men, perhaps we will never know, but yes the Greeks did inflict a lot of casualties, the Greeks were betrayed when a local farmer showed the Persians a way through the pass, when the Greeks found this out all but 1000 left, which was composed of 300 Spartans under Leonidas, they fought to the death. The Persians were later defeatedat the Naval batle of Salamis, I think.

It's spelled Thermopolyae. August 11, 480 BC
Current historians estimate casualties among Xerxes army at around 20,000. The Greeks lost a total of 1400 - a ratio of almost 15 to 1.

In September, the Greeks defeated the Persians at the naval Battle of Salamis, which led to the rapid retreat of Xerxes. The remaining Persian army, left under the charge of Mardonius, was defeated in the Battle of Plataea by a combined Greek army again led by the Spartans, under the regent Pausanias.
