480 BC, the Greeks, under the command of Leonidas, king of Sparta, tried to halt the advance
of the vast Persian army at the narrow pass of Thermopylae. The Greeks’ self-sacrifice, following
Leonidas’s refusal to surrender his arms with the famously defiant retort “Come and take them”
(«Μολών λαβέ»), is a timeless inspiration for every nation fighting for freedom.
