- The militarily brilliant Spartans refused to help Athens. Even without the Spartans help, the Athenians-against all odds-destroyed the Persian invading force. How? The Greek soldiers, called hoplites, had a perfected battle formation called a Phalanx. The Persian forces had no fighting experience against this formation, and they were quickly defeated in the Battle of Marathon. They had an incredible runner name Pheidippides. Pheidippides sprinted just 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to warn them of the approaching Persian force. Legend says that when he got to Athens, he yelled, "Rejoice we conquer!" and then dropped dead.

- The Spartan king, Leonidas, led a small army of just 300 Spartans warriors to defend the pass at Thermopylae. Thermopylae was the entrance from Macedonia in the north to Greece. Leonidas and his small group of men stalled the massive Persian force from entering Greece while the other Greek forces retreated to invasion. After a valiant struggle, the Persians slaughtered Leonidas and every one of his men. Not surprisingly, the Spartans willingly sacrificed themselves for the good of Greece.
