The Hot Gates of Thermopylai is a narrow passage which comprised a region of Malis, Greece.

History

In classical antiquity, the passageway has served as the main route between Thessaly and Lokris, and thus has served as the place of numerous battles, the most notable of which is the Battle of Thermopylae, in which the Spartans led by the King Leonidas I fought against the forces of Xerxes I of Persia.[1]

Following the battle, King Leonidas was buried at Thermopylai, and a statue of a lion was erected there in his honor.[1]

Around 431 BCE, the misthios Kassandra explored the area.[1]

Locations

Trivia

  • The name comes from the local hot springs. Thermopylai is Greek for 'hot gates'.
