"July 30. Thermopylae: In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes invaded Greece with nearly a quarter of a million men. Viewers will experience what a sight that must have been for the 300 Spartans sent to hold them off at Thermopylae. Led by their king, Leonidas, they fought a rearguard action against the Persian army. The 300 Spartans were all killed but they won time, and their example inspired the rest of Greece to eventual victory."

This is where the phrase, "Molon Labe" - "Come and get them" - originated.

My experience with The Discovery/History/Learning Channel is that they sometimes do very poor history work.

One show I recall was about the conflict between Rome and the Goths. The show was so distorted and sympathetic to the Goths it was pathetic. It may as well have been written by Michael Moore!
