In 480 BCE, at the Battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas I of Sparta led an army of 300 Spartans to defend a narrow passage way Malis against the Achaemenid Empire.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartans were deployed across Greece and served as one of the primary armies of the Peloponnesian League. In this capacity, they fought against the army deployed by Athens and the Delian League.[2]
