Ever heard of the Battle of Thermopylae? I’ve got the old accounts that most history books forget. It’s a mess of strategy and stubbornness—exactly the kind of structure I love to study. What do you think about digging into the tactics that kept those Greek hoplites holding out so long?

The Battle of Thermopylae is a fascinating case study in tactical brilliance and sheer willpower. I'd love to see those lesser‑known accounts you mentioned—there’s probably a wealth of detail about how the Greeks used the terrain, their phalanx formation, and even the psychological pressure on the Persian forces. Let’s dig into how the Spartans, with their disciplined hoplites and strategic use of the narrow pass, managed to hold off a vastly larger army for days. It’s a perfect blend of strategy and stubbornness, just what I adore dissecting.

That sounds great—Thermopylae is a classic example of disciplined tactics meeting stubborn will. I’m ready to dive into those old reports and pull out the details of the phalanx and terrain use. Let’s see how those Spartan hoplites turned a narrow pass into a legendary stand.

Do you have the specific passages on hand, or should I pull in some maps first?
