The Battle of Thermopylae
This is a true story. It happened long ago in Greece___
“We must fight,” the Spartan* chief told his small army of brave men. They
were at a great disadvantage. There were only three hundred of them. The Persian
military had hundreds of thousands of men.
They were going to lose unless they could secure a small entrance. The enemy
couldn’t move through it easily. They intended to stop the enemy here. The chief
and his men got ready for the battle.
Soon, long lines of the enemy’s army twisted around the hills. The chief met the
enemy with laughter. He knew that his men’s weapons and skills were better. The
Spartans trusted their leader and obeyed him.
First, the enemy soldiers shot arrows from their bows. The chief told his men
to lift their shields*. The arrows stuck into the shields but did not hurt any of the
men.
Then the enemy’s soldiers attacked the Spartans with long spears. The chief
surprised them. His troops rolled logs down on the enemy.
They fought for three days. Though they hardly slept at all,
the chief and his men remained steady.
But the enemy found a way to beat the Spartans. The
chief and all of his men were killed. Even though they
lost, the Battle ofThermopylae is one of the most famous
battles in history.
