Battle of Thermopylae
Time: 480 BC
Place: Thermopylae, Greece
Details: In 480 BC, the first major battle of the invasion was fought at Thermopylae, where a small rearguard of Greeks, led by three hundred Spartans, held a crucial pass guarding the heart of Greece for several days. As a result, Phocis, Boeotia, and Attica were under Persian control.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
