The Battle of Thermopylae was fought in 480 BC between the Achaemenid Persian Empire under Xerxes I and an alliance of Greek city-states led by Sparta under Leonidas I. Lasting over the course of three days, it was one of the most prominent battles of both the second Persian invasion of Greece and the wider Greco-Persian Wars.
The war between Xerxes and Greece, also known as the Greco-Persian Wars, lasted from 499 BC to 449 BC. It was a series of conflicts between the Persian Empire, led by Xerxes, and various Greek city-states. The main cause of the war was the expansionist policies of the Persian Empire and their desire to conquer the Greek city-states.
