The Spartans or Lacedaemonians were the citizens of Sparta, one of the most important polis of Classical Greece. Under the reign of Leonidas I (c. 540 BC – 480 BC) they became famous for the heroic death of 300 of their warriors along with 1,100 soldiers from other Greek polis in the defence of the Thermopylae Pass against the Persian army of King Xerxes during the Second Medical Wars (480 – 478 BC).
