DZ Season 063 Part 18. 300 Spartans and All That – Thermopylae Pass – Whip Them Into Shape – Coming Spartan Wipeout.
For the last stand at Thermopylae, only some of the Greeks would remain. There were compelling reasons for Leonidas and the Spartans to stay and die. They had been sent to defend the Pass and they would never leave.
Well – there’s always one exception I guess, and I’m going to tell you about the one Spartan that got away. One minute, there were two that got away. This is the story of how that happened.
