It's a narrow pass of east-central Greece. It was the site of an unsuccessful Spartan stand against the Persians in 480 B.C.

Thermopylae stands for "The Hot Gates." Thermopylae got its name because of the many hot springs that were around the area. I read somewhere that as the Greeks were approaching Thermopylae days before the battle they found men bathing in the springs and merchants trying to sell items.
