With this last post we left the track. I recommend reading the books I've been linking if you want to know more about this battle. The Battle of Thermopylae is a history book where you can read the first thing you wrote on this subject, compiled for those who just want to read about this battle, while fire doors is a novel as epic and exciting as faithful to the known historical data.
In place of the battle there are several monuments recalling the battle, in which are some inscriptions were used by Miller in comics:
"The Greeks were buried in the same place where they fell, as did those who died before they retired who had been so authorized by Leonid , and their graves contained an inscription that reads: Here
one day fought against three million,
four thousand men come from the Peloponnese.
As I say, this inscription refers to the total fallen, while the Spartans in particular relates this:
Walker, reports that the Lacedaemonians Here we lie by obeying his commands. "
" Currently there are two memorials at Thermopylae. In the modern, called the Leonidas Monument in honor of the Spartan king who fell there, is engraved his response to Xerxes' demand that the Spartans lay down their arms. The response consisted of three words: "Come to find them."
The second monument, the former is a simple, unadorned room with a few words of the poet Simonides engraved on it. His verses are perhaps the most famous warrior epitaphs:
Go tell the Spartans,
abroad you go through here,
who, obedient to their laws, we lie
here. "
(Translations are by Carlos Schrader and Carme Camps, and are taken from the books The Battle of Thermopylae and fire doors.)
