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 a battle called Thermopylae.
