Images of Thermopylae

 

The modern monument at the spot were the Spartans are said to have made their last stand.

 

The modern monument by the roadside, with a statue based on the so-called Leonidas statue.

 

Mt. Kallidromon, over which the Persian 10,000 made their night march to outflank the Greeks.

 

The hot springs at Thermopylae, from which the place (literally, "hot gates") gets its name.

 

A nearby wall, just possibly that defended by the Greeks.
