"This is where Leonidas was laid to rest. I wish I had known him."
―Kassandra, 431 BCE.[src]-[m]
Herodotos and Kassandra at the Lion

The Lion of Leonidas was a memorial to King Leonidas I of Sparta. A statue of a lion backed by pillars, it was set where the king was first laid to rest after the Battle of Thermopylae, in Malis, Greece. The king's remains were eventually moved to a tomb in his home city.[1]

During the Peloponnesian War the Spartan misthios, and granddaughter of Leonidas, Kassandra visited the memorial to meet with Herodotos.[1]
