Lion of Leonidas

"This is where Leonidas was laid to rest. I wish I had known him."

―Kassandra.

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.

In 431 BCE, the misthios Kassandra, granddaughter of Leonidas, visited the memorial to meet with Herodotos.
