"Come and Get 'em"
Historical Background:In the year 480 BCE, King Xerxes led his army into Greece from the north. His land troops were aided by his fleet and altogether, numbered possibly more than 250,000 troops. Although the Greeks were not yet unified nor in agreement about how to defend Greece, the Spartans were given the command of the collective Greek army and marched to the pass at Thermopylae with a force of 300 Spartans and about 5,000 other Greeks. For the first 2 days of fighting, they held off the Persian forces but on the 3rd day, the Persians found a route around the pass; surrounded, the Spartans fought to their deaths while the remaining Greek forces escaped south to prepare to defend their lands.
