Go tell the Spartans stranger passing by that here obedient to their laws we lie. Nearly 2 500 years ago in 480BC at a bleak pass in a far-flung corner of eastern Greece three hundred Spartan warriors faced the army of Xerxes of Persia a massive force rumoured to be over a million strong. Their orders were simple: to delay the enemy for as long as possible while the main Greek armies mobilized. For six days the Spartans held the invaders at bay. In the final hours - their shields broken swords and spears shattered - they fought with their bare hands before being overwhelmed. It was battle that would become synonymous with extraordinary courage heroism and self-sacrifice: it was Thermopylae. In Gates of Fire Steven Pressfield tells the epic story of those legendary Spartans: the men and women who helped shaped our history and have themselves become as immortal as their gods.
