LEONIDAS THE HERO
Many Persian warriors were killed at Thermopylae. Xerxes was so angry about this that he had Leonidas’s head cut off and his body crucified.

Leonidas was celebrated as a hero, a shining example of fighting bravely against the odds and personal sacrifice for the good of his country.
