\u201cthermos\u201d is Greek for warm &#8211; that existed in the area, in combination with the narrow pass of the three \u201cgates\u201d formed between the slopes of Mount Kallidromos and the sea.<\/p>\n<p>The landscape has been greatly altered since then, mostly due to the continuous deposits of the Spercheios River and its tributaries, which once flowed parallel to the pass. Over the centuries, these deposits created a vast plain about five kilometers wide, whereas in antiquity the passage lay right beside the coastline.<\/p>\n<p>Myth has it that Thermopylae was associated with Hercules, who is said to have bathed in its waters to relieve the pain caused by the poisoned tunic of the centaur Nessus, which eventually caused his untimely demise.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section galleryBlock \">\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"CarouselDiv\">\n\t<div data-view=\"3\" class=\"Carousel \n\t\tImageGrid

heroically against the vastly superior forces of the Persians, commanded by King Xerxes I, and laid down their lives in battle. From antiquity, the outcome of the Battle of Thermopylae was regarded more as a victory than a defeat. The sacrifice of Leonidas and his 300 Spartans, together with the Thespians, remained engraved in memory as the most characteristic expression of Spartan bravery, military duty and self-sacrifice for one\u2019s homeland.<\/p>\n<p>The small but mighty Greek force managed to protect the remaining allies as they retreated, while significantly delaying Xerxes\u2019 advance, inflicting losses on his army and boosting the morale of the Greeks.<\/p>\n<p>To honor their sacrifice, the ancient Greeks erected a stone lion at that very spot, inscribed with the famous epigram by the poet Simonides: \u201cOh stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A monument was erected in 1955 at the central gate of the pass &#8211; the site of the battle\u2019s final phase &#8211; in commemoration of the Battle of Thermopylae, featuring a bronze statue of Leonidas armed to the teeth, created by sculptor Vasos Falireas. The statue greets visitors before they ascend the hill of Kolonos, inscribed with the legendary phrase \u201cMolon labe\u201d, which translates to \u201cCome and take them,\u201d a reference to the Spartan\u2019s weaponry after King Xerxes demanded they surrender mid-battle.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section PracticalText  \">\n\t<div class=\"groupsInfo\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"groupInfoItem\" id=\"Directions\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"infoMap\">\n\t\t<div id=\"map\" class=\"mapcell\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t<div class=\"left\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t<span>\n\n<svg class=\"SvgIcon   SvgIcon--custom \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" shape-rendering=\"geometricPrecision\"   style=\"--svg-height: 24px;
