I guess they should remember the example set by the 300 Spartans. It sort of worked before.

“I guess they should remember the example set by the 300 Spartans. It sort of worked before.”

The battle of Salamis would be better.

The Greeks lost at Thermopylae and the king of Sparta was killed.
At Salamis the Greek fleet destroyed a much larger Persian fleet causing Xerxes to withdraw the bulk of his army to Asia.
