Explanation:

• King Leonidas of Sparta and his 300 Spartans and Helots along with several thousand Hoplites from other Greek City-States, marched to hold up Xerxes at the Thermopylae pass to give the greeks time to gather an army to go against the Persians.
• But upon learning that the Greeks were betrayed, Leonidas had to send most of his Greek allies to return to their city-states.
