m My earlier thoughts was that the quote seem to refer to Thermopylae as a world rather than just the passage since the entire region was a battleifled. Anyway, removed WP-Link as its not applicable unlike region itself.

Wider view of the Hot Gates.

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]

Later in 431 BCE, the misthios Kassandra visited the passageway, meeting with Herodotos at the lion monument. There, Herodotos requested Kassandra to draw out her spear and touched the tip, receiving a glimpse of Leonidas' death in the Battle of Thermopylae seemingly confirmed his suspicions of Kassandra and the spear's connection to Leonidas.[1]
